UX - Keyboard shortcuts #7

Closed dllndv closed 7 years ago

dllndv commented 7 years ago

I think we could use some keyboard shortcuts, such as shift+enter to go to the next problem, and a different shortcut for the shuffle button. Maybe a shortcut to copy their whole solution in case they wanted to make a gist of all the answers. Just a goal to make the app completely usable without touching the mouse.

Yes, I've been frustrated by having to leave the keyboard when i'm on a roll, too. great idea!

Research:

SUBMIT keybinding:

es6Katas: cmd-S to re-test
codewars: cmd-S to re-test, cmd-return to submit final and move on
freeCodeCamp: cmd-return/ctrl-return to re-test. If passed, another cmd-return goes to next problem.

Could also automatically move to next problem if the tests all pass

maybe a simple button slides in at the bottom of the code window, congratulating the user and then just says, "hit enter for next problem". Moving them automatically to the next problem might make them wonder if something's broken.

I have a PR for the next/prev keybindings ready here: https://github.com/PracticeJavaScript/practicejavascript.com/pull/35 It could use more browser testing on non-mac things.
