keyboard navigation in menu

Open pkra opened this issue 14 years ago • 6 comments

Could there be keyboard navigation in the menu? Or keyboard commands to access the different menu commands.

sounds like a good idea. the menu is inspired by menus in games anyway, and most games have some keyboard menu navigation. I will probably create keyboard shortcuts for individual menu entries first, though, and see if I can avoid full-fledged keyboard navigation in the menu.

most of the menu entries already have keyboard shortcuts (F5,F9,F11). but what you really want is a keyboard shortcut to toggle between single and two-column mode, right? ;)

You got me ;). Btw, I totally love it. My own showdown-gui-derivative has fallen out of use :(

I am glad you like it! :)

What shortcut for two column mode would you like? My suggestion is F12, but that's far from perfect.

No preference -- just maybe mention them in the menu? I know they are mentioned in the opening text, but I do forget them...

Can you look into "capturing" the cursor on startup? Just put it on the first line or anywhere else.

It is very annoying that I have to click precisely on a line before I can use escape to enter the menu (I mostly use a tiny laptop touchpad and navigating onto the icon isn't optimal either).

AFAICT chromeless does not offer a way to capture the keyboard focus on startup. I will ask on the mailing list, though.

To use esc or the function keys, you do not need to click on a paragraph. Clicking anywhere in the window should make function keys and esc work.
