feat: Keyboard shortcut to move to next calibration step #8376

Open DerekMaggio opened 3 years ago

DerekMaggio commented 3 years ago

Overview

It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to move to the next step in calibration. Especially when the robot is far away from where your computer is.

I have set my Z for my pipette on the calibration block. I want to move on to the next calibration step. Instead of having roll my chair to the other side of the room just to click a button, I want to be lazy and press a keyboard shortcut to go the next step.

This keyboard shortcut should be hard to press by accident.

Implementation details

On my computer using Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Pg Up is not mapped to anything. That keybinding is my suggestion, but it could be whatever makes sense.

It might be nice to have Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Pg Down go back to the previous calibration step.

Design

None

Acceptance criteria

When I press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Pg Up it moves on to the next step in the calibration. When I press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Pg Down it goes back to the previous step in the calibration

Lol I've definitely counted and memorized the number of tabs it takes to highlight the "next" button for some of these flows in the past. Something like tab x7 + space to proceed 🙃
