Keyboard shortcut/right click for encryption #205

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

some drive-by promotion of mailvelope prompts this issue:

why can't we open the encryption window via keyboard shortcut or right click?

can we build in keyboard shortcuts? seems far fetched, but awesome.

I experimented once with encrypt by context menu and there are still some parts in the coding:

https://github.com/toberndo/mailvelope/blob/master/common/ui/inline/main-cs.js#L242 https://github.com/toberndo/mailvelope/blob/master/common/ui/inline/main-cs.js#L268

Would be a good alternative for the injected buttons.

the reload function works great although when emailing one is generally using keystrokes within message rather than clicking in context menu down at lower right of browser. But addon works great, very impressive... Much gratitude from @theGuruWithin

@theGuruWithin Thanks

rather than clicking in context menu down at lower right of browser

With context menu I mean right-click in the message area. Key shortcuts are also an alternative, I wonder how much they are really used: Gmail has for example (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+U,...) in the mail editor.

i just did test and i love the way that an encrypted message has your lock graphic animate on with interface ready for decryption. Couldn't be easier.

When I'm typing an email I'm using the keyboard. When I'm done with the email I press CTR+ENTER to send it. I would like to be able to navigate encrypting an email just as easily with the keyboard. Without keyboard shortcuts the extra effort is enough to keep me from using this otherwise wonderful extension.

Indeed, even here in github you submit a comment with CTRL+ENTER (no mouse clicking required)
