Keyboard-only users need a way to set which split pane is active #12831

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

Title says it all. I know split view icon in the sidebar is not the only one that is only available to mouse users, but split view is an important feature and we need to make sure that keyboard-only users can access it from the menu.

Not only we need keyboard shortcuts (and/or menu items) for switching between panes, we also need menu items (or maybe shortcuts) for switching between single view, vertical split and horizontal split.

This seems like a general accessibility issue.

I don't think we should move this to the backlog as general accessibility issue. This is a new feature and it is also a discoverability issue.

There are menu items for split view now, so the only remaining item here is a shortcut to switch between panes. See #9036 for discussion of which shortcut to use.

I wonder if we should also have a shortcut to switch between Split View modes (none/vertical/horizontal)?

Cmd+1/2 for Pane switching please.

If these shortcuts aren't take:

Cmd-Opt-Up/Down are used by Emmet and Everyscrub, so it would be nice not to make them change again (already had to change once due to a multi-cursor command).

Do people create or change between split views often enough that we need a dedicated shortcut for that out of the box? If it's super-common only for some users, I wonder if we could just let them assign shortcuts on their own via our new configurable shortcuts mechanism.

@peterflynn In order to let users assign shortcuts to switch pane, we need to add those commands and corresponding menu items first. Currently, we only have commands to switch split modes, but no commands to switch pane yet.
