Keyboard shortcut modifications

Open mbryantms opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

The keyboard shortcuts work well but aren't customizable as far as I know. Vi/Vim shortcuts are j for down and k for up. For miniflux it's actually the oppose. k moves down and jmoves to the previous item.

I know it's not feasible to modify for everyone but is it possible to allow to customize as I always have issues when switching between the two.

This is something that bothers me as well. Unless a global switch is okay, perhaps there could be a simple toggle for this through environment variables, something like KEYS_JK_SWAP=1.

I actually dislike the recent change with 2.0.16. Many Feedreaders (google reader, feedly, ..) used to have the same behavior as versions up to 2.0.15.

Saying that as a all time vim user (middle finger for skipping through articles is easier, maybe?! I don't really know).

I know that features should be limited to really being benefical. Maybe making this (keyboard shortcuts) configurable would be an option nevertheless.

Should not be a very very big issue for most people anyway.

Just a counterpoint to the last comment. I signed up for the free trial 3 or 4 times in the past, but never stuck with it because of the pre-2.0.16 shortcuts even thought I liked it otherwise. I happened to try it again recently, and I just paid for a subscription since the shortcuts make sense to me now.

Of course I have no problem if it were configurable :-)

I find the behavior of j and k very counter-intuitive on the "entry view" (one article at a time). There are << Previous and Next >> buttons so it's quite obvious what h and l would do, n and p are mnemonic so they are okay too, however I would argue that j/k should just scroll up and down the page because that's what you would expect if you open a document in vim and press j/k.
