Ctrl + Shift + ] Shortcut not working on Windows 10

[ghost]

Hey guys, loving the style of this application. I seem to have found an issue on the two windows 10 machines I'm using where the Ctrl + Shift + ] shortcut doesn't work like it should, though this wasn't present on a mac I borrowed to test.

I can still use Ctrl + Shift + [ to move back a file, and both functions work from the 'navigation' tab in the toolbar, but the next file shortcut isn't working.

We'll have a look :) Stay tuned

I'm also facing issues with quick inserts shortcuts - none of them work :/ Really love the app

Inserts don't work on Windows? When you press ctrl+i & ctrl+d nothing happens? Can you open an issue for the specific problem?

[idimitrijevic]

Yes, sorry :/ I will open an issue Thanks for the quick response!

Also having this issue on Windows Today. It would be an awesome feature, still not find how and why it's not working.

I see the code for 10 minutes and find that:

Next_page (The function that need to be called), it's binded in Events.js only when a file is dropped in.

There is no binding in the file for ctrl+shift+] / [

Ok i've realized now a fact.

Which keyboard layout did you use? Because most non American Layout have '[' that can be used only if you press ctrl+alt.

if the shortcut require a ctrl+maiusc(Aka shift)+] it should be ctrl+alt+maiusc+] this is equals to curve brakets { } in most non america keyboards lol.

This means that only US layout can make these shortcuts 😢

My italian layout keyboard:

Any US layout keyboard:

@Lucaffo you're right, this behavior is depending on the not US keyboard layout, same problem here with a German layout. This also affects the Toggle Navigation shortcut which is Ctrl + \ by default, but there is an easy fix (or at least workaround).

You can edit the keyboard shortcuts within the desktop/sources/index.html file, I've made the following changes and it works fine on Linux:

/* Navigation with Page-Up and Page-Down keys, ~ line 71 */
left.controller.add('default', 'Navigation', 'Next File', () => { left.navi.next_page() }, 'CmdOrCtrl+Shift+PageDown')
left.controller.add('default', 'Navigation', 'Prev File', () => { left.navi.prev_page() }, 'CmdOrCtrl+Shift+PageUp')
left.controller.add('default', 'Navigation', 'Next Marker', () => { left.navi.next_marker() }, 'CmdOrCtrl+PageDown')
left.controller.add('default', 'Navigation', 'Prev Marker', () => { left.navi.prev_marker() }, 'CmdOrCtrl+PageUp')

/* Navigation Toggle with Super (windows) key, ~ line 76 */
left.controller.add('default', 'View', 'Toggle Navigation', () => { left.navi.toggle() }, 'CmdOrCtrl+Super+S')

After editing the index.html I've rebuild Left with npm rebuild, actually I'm not sure if this is necessary but it worked for me.

There is just one small quirk: in the menu the super key is not displayed in the shortcut info, but that's only cosmetic (and maybe only missing in the German translation file):

@neauoire maybe this should be included in the readme? Could save a few recurring questions...
