Keyboard shortcuts

[bschlagel]

Big list of keyboard shortcuts we want across the app!

general selection and nav

• [x] shift + up/down arrows: first (if in a text block) select to beginning or end of text; again select multiple blocks
• [x] cmd/ctrl + shift + up/down arrows: move selected blocks up / down (should work for #14 too)
• [x] cmd-a: first selects text within a block; again selects all blocks on the page
• [x] cmd/ctrl + up/down arrows: go to beginning / end of doc
• [ ] esc: if editing block, exit text and select block; again to deselect all
• [ ] cmd/ctrl + return/enter: act on selected block
  • edit a text block (cursor at end)
  • open a link block (in new tab)
  • open a page block to the right (and select that page)

text formatting

• [x] cmd/ctrl + b and i and u for bold / italic / underline
• [x] cmd/ctrl + k to insert inline link
• [x] cmd/ctrl + opt + l for list (add shift for numbered? idk)
• [ ] cmd/ctrl + opt + 1, 2, 3 etc. for h1 etc. and 0 for p

markdown - basics

• headers: # h1, ## h2, ### h3
• bold: **bold**
• italic: *italic*
• b + i: ***bold AND italic***
• blockquote: > blockquote
• lists: 1. numbered or - bulleted - see more re: lists in #4
• strikethrough: ~~strikethrough~~
• highlight: ==highlight==
• code: wrapped in backticks like these examples

markdown - nice to have / not sure

• task lists e.g. - [ ] or - [x] + render pretty checkboxes
• foldable headings (see: #4)
• markdown links e.g. [title](url)
• automatic url linking (render raw urls as clickable)
• fenced code blocks + syntax highlighting

cool but we can do later

• show panel w/ keyboard shortcuts: e.g. cmd/ctrl + /
• shortcuts to add new blocks (image, page, link)
• shortcuts to open the share and theme panes
• advanced text formatting e.g. for underline, blockquote, strikethrough, highlight, and code
• page selection / nav e.g. cmd/ctrl + opt + shift + left/right arrows (?) to shift focus between open pages (?)

A couple suggestions for lists:

list shortcut should be a toggle — right now it only adds a list, but it'd be nice if it can also turn selected list blocks back to regular text blocks (I guess it's have to remove any indent in this case too)

list fold / unfold ALL would be useful — especially if you want to view collapsed version of a list someone else made…I think could be either separate shortcuts for fold / unfold, or a toggle (latter is simpler, but a bit more ambiguity if only some parts of a list are already folded)

separate:

• cmd-opt-shift-UP = fold all headings / lists
• cmd-opt-shift-DOWN = unfold all headings / lists

toggle: cmd-opt-shift-enter = toggle fold / unfold
