Allow cursor traversal between blocks. #171

Closed anilgulecha closed 5 years ago

anilgulecha commented 10 years ago

I'd like to use STjs to edit long documents. (most other RTEs are not an option as they do not maintain model/view separately).

Moving with mouse between blocks is very cumbersome. Would it be possible to add options {allowCursorNext:, allowCursorPrevious:} to each block, so when the cursor is at the last and first line respective, the focus, and cursor placement move to the next/previous block automatically.

This will enable a very keyboard friendly UX.

Thank's for a very cool plugin. I'm happy to answer any queries you may have.

Hi. Great suggestion. Keyboard navigation is definitely on the roadmap. At the very least I'd like to see the ability to move between the blocks with the tab button.

anilgulecha commented 10 years ago

May I suggest sticking with up/down keys? It's what everyone is familiar with -- day in and day out, on any platform. Tab will be (a little) jarring.

(of course using tab as a faux-page down would be fine. I was specifically talking about line behavior for the cursor.)

I like this idea. Philosophically, it sort of fits in with some of the talk about decluttering the "between block" controls as well.

When I get some time I'd love to take this on

:+1: being able to click and drag to select text across multiple blocks is huge
