Keyboard Shortcuts

[lukewestby]

This is already on the roadmap but I want to take suggestions about what combos there should be. If you have a suggestion, please reference another tool that uses that particular shortcut/command combo if you know of one or some thoughts about why the command is the best user experience. Totally cool if you don't want to do this but I will have to think through more whether suggestions without citations will be good for users.

Things we've got so far:

• cmd/ctrl-enter: run compiler

Thanks!

My top and only item: cmd/ctrl-enter to compile

[listrophy]

Yeah, I honestly only care about compilation right now. If this weren't a browser app, I'd prefer cmd/ctrl-r, but please don't actually do that. 😀 I think I can get behind cmd/ctrl-enter.

[lukewestby]

Where does cmd/ctrl-enter come from?

[BrianHicks]

It's been the "run/compile" shortcut in most online editors that I've used, and more than a few IDEs. ctrl-enter is used in the "try online" portion of elm-lang.org. I'd like it to also be cmd-enter because, well, I use a mac. ;)

[lukewestby]

Excellent, thanks! Done deal.

[basile-henry]

cmd/ctrl-shift-f for format.

Alternatively, and probably a better solution, would be to have an option to format on compile.

I would love a keyboard shortcut for indenting/unindenting a block of code. I'm not too opinionated on what that keyboard shortcut should be, I think Tab (and Shift+Tab) are common, but as I say I'm none too fussed myself.

Need this! @lukewestby :D
