Have the shortcut dialog toggle appearance / disappearance

steveculshaw commented 2 months ago

What improvement do you think would an existing feature in CtrlHelp?

Currently the shortcut dialog appears when the CTRL (or whichever key setup)

It would be good if another press of CTRL key would have it disappear ... _- I'd prefer it if it was a short press, as that'd suit my workflow

when editing text, I tend to sit there with the CTRL pressed while I move my cursor word by word with the left/right arrows_

Solution/Idea

Add a "setting" ?

Hello, Thank you for this feedback. Have you try the Escape key? It closes the window.

A concern I'd have for using the Ctrl key to close the window is that it may conflict with Ctrl+F, which moves the focus to the search bar.

Yeap, I'm currently using the ESC key, but it breaks "my flow"

Looking at the settings, I noticed that I can change the CTRL key to another one ... Trying out SHIFT, which is better in that it doesn't impact any of the arrow movement key pairs; CTRL + and ALT +

The hand move up to ESC to dismiss the dialog is still a bit of a pain, at least for me ... on my keyboard I don't tend to have to move my hands as I'm typing, but getting to the ESC key I have to actually lift my hand over to click it.

But switching to using the SHIFT key looks to be removing the big pain of the dialog inadvertently opening when I wasn't wanting it ... I now have to make an explicit choice to depress the SHIFT key
