Keyboard Shortcut to jump to Channel with Unread #4255

Open geekgonecrazy opened 8 years ago

geekgonecrazy commented 8 years ago

In IRC clients like weechat they have a keyboard shortcut: alt+a to jump to active channel. Made it super convenient to switch between several active channels with out having to hunt them down.

or maybe alt+shift+up/down to match https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/4256 better?

geekgonecrazy commented 8 years ago

@emgee would alt+up/down clash with anything? Just thinking less keys might help?

atomatt commented 8 years ago

@geekgonecrazy maybe, but it doesn't for me (a gnome-shell user) and it's what irccloud uses so I would assume it's ok on most platforms.

I suggest keeping the same shortcut as for "Search users/switch channel" (Cmd + K on Mac), only that channels with unread messages would be on top and highlighted (ready to be entered on Enter) until you start to search.

Advantages:

no need to "learn" new shortcut

Disadvantages:

Possible confusion when switching channels when expecting the last open channel first

@atomatt alt+shift+up/down are default shortcuts to switch between workspaces in Ubuntu.

I suggest alt + up/down for web client and ctrl (shift) + tab for Electron App.
