[Proposal] Rework shortcuts #79

Open Porrumentzio opened 3 years ago

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago
Key Current Proposal
Enter Launch first result =
Home -- Select first result
End -- Select last result
Down arrow Move selection downwards (allows Text field > Launcher move) =
Up arrow Move selection upwards = + allow Launcher > Text field move
Left arrow -- Move to the left column (Launcher > Category)
Right arrow -- Move to the right column (Category > Launcher)

Even selecting a launcher, the text field should always remain active, so typing will directly write text. Currently this is not possible.

Changing all shortcuts will confuse existing users.

fieldmove | Left arrow | -- | Move to the left column (Launcher>Category) | Right arrow | -- | Move to the right column (Category>Launcher`)

I did not propose to change, only add some shortcuts and extend some functionality of others

Ahh...

For me the Home and End Key currently work as in your proposal. Instead of left/right arrow you can use tab/shift+tab.

Porrumentzio commented 3 years ago

Do they work from Search input area to concrete launchers and back? Which mozo version?

Tab works to move downwards: Search area > Selected category > Launchers Shift+Tab works upwards: Launchers > Selected category > Search area

But it doesn't work to move/commute between Categories and Launchers columns.
