1 month ago Hey @Inquisitor-Ignotorum , thanks for the detail.
These both make sense to me. "delete" to delete a term is good.
For copying the full page, I'm not sure what a good shortcut is -- "c" copies the sentence, "shift + c" copies the paragraph -- maybe "shift + p" to copy the whole page. I'll add that, I guess, as a first pass.
Hard to say what is a good shortcut and won't get in peoples' way. There's an issue to make custom keys, #141 . In the meantime, these are fast tweaks. Thanks!
Configuration: Windows 10, Lute installed via pip
Hello.
Could we please have a keyboard shortcut to delete a term without having to open the term editing panel? It would be great, for example, if the user could hover the mouse cursor over a term, then press the keyboard shortcut (the "Delete" key may be a great fit), and then the term deletion dialogue could immediately appear, as if the user had clicked the "Delete" button of the term editing panel, thus saving the time necessary for the term editing panel to open and then close again and preserving the flow of the reading experience. I often import lists of translated terms to pre-populate the Lute database and to save time while reading (in order to not have to interrupt the pleasant flow of the reading process due to constant term lookups), and I frequently need to delete some of the terms (e.g. fictional character/place names which would likely never re-appear outside of that specific book) from those imported lists while reading due to preferring to exclude them from my database (I also prefer to exclude them from the "Ignored" terms).
It would also be great if there could be a keyboard shortcut to copy the contents of the entire page. While reading non-fiction books, I like copying text containing information that I want to remember later, and I then like pasting that text to ChatGPT in order to ask it to quiz me on that information and to help me make flashcards out of that information. The paragraph-copying keyboard shortcut "Shift+C" is very useful for accomplishing this, but when the entire page is full of useful information, it is necessary to copy everything paragraph-by-paragraph or to use the sidebar's "Translate page" command or "Edit current page" command and to then copy the page's text from there. To save time and energy, it would be useful to have a keyboard shortcut (perhaps "Ctrl+C" could work) to instantly copy the text of the entire page.
I am interested in learning your thoughts about this. It currently seems to me that the above are very specific situations where the two hotkeys could be useful, and those situations may not apply to other Lute users. However, I hope that the two keyboard shortcuts would help make the daily workflow of many Lute users faster and smoother, just like they would do to my daily workflow.
Thank you very much for your work. I use Lute every day and find it very beneficial.
