Keyboard support for creating a new conversation #59

Open brenthaertlein opened 5 years ago

brenthaertlein commented 5 years ago

It would be preferably if I could start a Conversation with cmd+enter or ctrl+enter after typing the "body" or "first message" of the new Conversation.

cmd+enter preferred on macOS

Yes! This is something @Domthegrom asked for as well. A big competitive advantage of Connect will be keyboard shortcuts. The philosophy is:

Power users will be able to fly through the app. Reading their notifications and responding to them.
Power users will invite everyone else for mass adoption.

@calebmer would you prefer I open individual issues for "power user" functionality like enhanced keyboard support etc or would you like that consolidated to this (or some other) single issue, akin to the concept of an "Epic" (am Jira user).

I think the granularity of single issues is preferable and perhaps there could be a tag/label for this "type" of issue.

One strategy I liked at Facebook is we’d have Umbrella ☂️ issues which referenced all of the individual issues. Same basic idea as an epic.

We can also use tags, milestones, or projects for this. I like the idea of using a tag but a milestone might be nice to get a progress bar. The problem with milestones is you can only have one milestone per issue.

Let’s definitely add “power user” tags and also maybe create an umbrella issue explaining the vision and strategy if that’s valuable.
