move cursor with arrow keys #87

Open nurpax opened 6 years ago

nurpax commented 6 years ago

Some ANSI ASCII artists are used to being able to move the cursor with arrow keys.

Might want to consider this. But would need to check how the other keyb shortcuts work then. E.g., is SPACE then "set char" or will the user still need to mouse left click?

Left/right arrows now control the screen selector. So this would conflict with those shortcuts. Does this imply some sort of settings for keyboard shortcuts?

I can imagine that this is a workflow some might use. It probably comes down to if the rest of the app can be controlled equally comfortable with the keyboard only. E.g. cursor keys for movement inside the canvas, space to drop a char, shift + cursor keys to move in char selection. Something like this.

I wouldn't call it a killer feature though. Might be something we want to listen to feedback after Petmate got some traction.

Definitely a backlog thing.
