Option to re-assign some keyboard shortcuts

Open kimusan opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

The keyboard shortcut to change account/identity (´ - tilde) is not reachable on some keyboard layouts (i.e. Nordic layouts like Danish, Swedish, Norwegian). It would be nice if we could re-assign that shortcut in some way or that it was automatically assigned according to language/country or something else.

+1 : french keyboards also. Either make it changeable or set it to a value reachable on most keyboards. If you prefer a symbol for this, comma, semi-colon or exclamation mark are good candidates. # is not since it is reachable only with Ctrl+Alt on french keyboards as well. L is also a good candidate (for List of Identities).

+1: German layout is tricky too. You can open the menu but the help text for the keyboard shortcuts and the actual mapping does not match. Example: The help text is:

Benutzerauswahl öffnen | ` (tilde)

Acutally you have to press ö to open the account menu.

So for me it would be nice to first give an option to re-assign the keyboard mappings and in a second step automatically detect the keyboard layout of the user.

Indeed it would be nice to assign custom keyboard shortcuts.... In my case, this would avoid conflicts between Rainloop's shortcuts and those of some screen readers (for the visually impaired for example). I tried to locate and change the shortcut definitions myself in the code, but I couldn't find them. Would they be somewhere in static/js/libs.js?
