Implement a binding for deleting one word forward (maybe C-delete?)
Ah, I wasn't aware of that binding. Indeed if it's the standard then we should use it.
To expand on that with some random keybinding info:
Shared between bash, Emacs and tiny:
- C-a/C-e move cursor to beginning of line/end of line
- C-k delete the rest of the line
- C-n/C-p (tiny: next/previous tab, which makes sense because input is only one line.) bash/emacs: next/previous line
In Emacs, C-w deletes the selected region, and in web browsers it deletes the current tab. Currently in tiny, C-w deletes one word backwards, like in Bash.
Possible shortcuts:
- C-t could be a shortcut to insert
/join #into the input field, for quickly joining a channel (following the example of opening a new tab in Firefox and Chrome). In Bash, C-t switches the current char with the previous char (not very useful) - C-tab could switch to the previous tab that you were in (useful if you /switched or Alt-#ed from a far away tab), which follows the useful shortcut in web browsers (no binding in Bash or Emacs)
Edit: also:
- C-b/C-f (move forward and backwards 1 char, Bash and Emacs)
- M-f/M-b (move forwards and backwards 1 word, Bash and Emacs)
- C-tab could switch to the previous tab that you were in (useful if you /switched or Alt-#ed from a far away tab), which follows the useful shortcut in web browsers (no binding in Bash or Emacs)
Which browser does this? I have Chrome and Firefox installed, and they both switch to the next tab instead of the previous tab.
Ah yes, that's correct. In firefox you have to enable "cycle through tabs in recently used order" apparently. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_windows-tabs
Ah, one problem with using M for this is that we use M-key for changing tabs, e.g. M-n currently switches to tab #tiny for me, M-u switches to #rust etc.
I see. Those were just some suggestions, I guess. Maybe long term the user will be able to set their own keybindings after #66
