Feature Request: jump to next cell and last cell

[LeonardoGentile]

We already have shortcuts for jumping from a cell to another but this requires to:

• focus on a cell
• hit cmd-dwn: this will jump to the end of this cell
• hit cmd-down again or the down arrow
• we are now focused on the next cell

If I wanted to jump 10 cells this sequence of shortcuts is too long/slow. I'd like to have a shortcut to navigate straight from one cell to another, no matter where (inside a cell) I am focused at the moment.

Also adding a shortcut for jumping right at the last cell of the note would be very useful.

Thanks

Would it make sense to change the current behavior of cmd-dwn to moving to the beginning of the next cell?

[LeonardoGentile]

hmm I'm not sure..it could make sense but I think we should have other shortcuts to focus at the begin/end of the cell anyway

And if you change cmd-dwn you should also change cmd-up to be consistent

I added ctrl-cmd-up and ctrl-cmd-down for moving directly to the previous/next cell. Let me know how it feels.

@ylian thanks! The problem is that I have already used those ctrl-cmd-up and ctrl-cmd-down for other purposes (move cell up/down) by changing the app shortcut from system preferences :) I will clear them up temporarily and give it a try.

But this is a use case where having the possibility to customize the shortcuts in a config file would be very useful as I suggested in #31

[ylian]

Now that I added global shortcuts in #50, it's probably not too hard to implement #31.

[LeonardoGentile]

@ylian I've tried but it seems not to work for me. I've disabled my previous customized ctrl-cmd-up and ctrl-cmd-down and tried to use these shortcuts as you suggested. Nothing happens and I get a sort of error sound (mac sound when we are trying to do something that we are not supposed to do) Hope I was clear :)

Have to try the build in this thread. It's not included in some newer builds since this is experimental.

[LeonardoGentile]

:+1: it works indeed...again I would prefer to have my own shortcuts when that would be feasible but it is already a good solution, thanks!

[LeonardoGentile]

What about the shortcuts to jump to the last cell or at the bottom of the page? Have you considered that?

[ylian]

Any idea what shortcut that would be? It's easy to implement. I just don't want to make the number of shortcuts overwhelming.

[LeonardoGentile]

I can propose cmd-pageUp and cmd-pageDown but that would be problematic on a macbook* I guess. Otherwise ctrl-alt-down/ctrl-alt-up or ctrl-alt-cmd-down/ctrl-alt-cmd-up.

Implementing #31 could solve this problem for conflicting shortcuts

[ylian]

Yeah, this probably should be implemented together with #31.
