Channel Organizer: Missing hotkeys #43

Closed hoppfrosch closed 9 years ago

hoppfrosch commented 10 years ago

To allow a keyboard-only usage of the channel organizer, all GUI elements should be accessible directly via shortcuts.

Looking at the sourcecode only the Search-field (via ^f) and the New-Button (via ^n) are directly accessible via shortcut.

FEATURE REQUEST

Provide shortcuts to set focus directly on Channel list and Clip List (Pressing "TAB" includes setting focus on all Buttons as well - so switching from channel list to clip list needs quite a few TABs - direct access would be preferred instead...)
... or remove hotkeys for Search-field (via ^f) and the New-Button (via ^n) to get a consistent handling of the GUI ("TAB" jumps from one GUI element to another)

FEATURE REQUEST:

Creating a new clip can be accessed via shortcut ^n - but a shortcut for creating a new channel is missing, -> Introduce shortcut for creating a new channel

The main idea why a shortcut was not added is that who will create new channels on a regular basis.

...who will create new channels on a regular basis.

It's not about regular or not - it's about ergonomy and consistency. As I'm a keyboard person, I prefer to be able to access all functionality via real shortcuts ... (OK - I might access this feature vie "context menu" key on my keyboard and Up/Down keys ...). It might be beyond our fantasy, but any user might have the need for creating new channels on a regular basis ,, ;-).
