Block keyboard shortcuts don’t work on macOS
Description
When I try Kirby 4’s new keyboard shortcuts in the block field, most of them don’t work and documentation is inaccurate.
Expected behavior
Pressing the keyboard shortcuts listed on the Kirby 4 release page using cmd
or ctrl
as meta key should work.
Split block works by pressing cmd + enter
and moving blocks works with ctrl + shift + up/down
. All the other shortcuts don’t work for me, no matter which browser I use. It’s also strange, that the meta
key is cmd
in one shortcut and ctrl
in a different one.
Screenshots
To reproduce
- Go to an admin page with a block field
- Select a block
- Try any of the keyboard shortcuts (except the two working ones mentioned above)
- Shortcut has no effect
Your setup
Kirby Version: 4.0.3
Your system (please complete the following information)
- Device: MacBook
- OS: macOS 13.6.3 (Ventura)
- Browser: Arc, Safari, Firefox
- Version: latest versions
@maxhoffmann indeed something is broken there.
The mix between ctrl
and cmd
/meta
is mainly the result that combinations are often used up by the different OS differently. So it's hard to find a set that works consistently everywhere, I fear.
@distantnative I wouldn’t mind learning to switch between them as long as the documentation is accurate and they work. I was just surprised that they don’t, since these have been one of the features I was really looking forward to in version 4 😄
Definitely something broken, pretty badly.
Here's a bit of inventory in Firefox on macOS
- CTRL + Backspace works if not in an input
- CTRL + Alt + Up/Down work to extend the selection to the next/previous block
- Meta + Enter works to split a block
- CTRL + J works to merge two blocks
- CTRL + Shift + Up/Down works once to move a block around, but then stops to work.
