Simplenote-electron: Keyboard bindings/shortcuts

Created on 21 Oct 2015  路  7Comments  路  Source: Automattic/simplenote-electron

Make the UI keyboard navigation enabled:

  • [x] Navigate and select a note - CmdOrCtrl + Shift + Up/Down/j/k
  • [x] Open and navigate tag menu - CmdOrCtrl + Shift + t
  • [x] Global binding to focus search field - CmdOrCtrl + Shift + f
  • [x] Toggle markdown preview - CmdOrCtrl + Shift + p
  • [x] Open/focus list view - CmdOrCtrl + Shift + [
  • [ ] ~Trash current note~

The app should be fully usable without a mouse.

I think we should also add keyboard shortcuts for basic MD formatting, maybe only available if they have MD on?

  • bold
  • italic
  • link
    etc.

I've tested a bit w/ electron, most keyboard shortcuts work fine (for copy/paste and whatnot).

There's some specifics about font size in #12

I'm thinking of ui navigation as well. Like when you're focused on the notes list using down/up arrows and return can change the selected note.

Other bindings:

  • Focusing search field
  • Activating/navigating the tag menu
  • Deleting/Restoring note

Ideally you could use the whole app without ever touching the mouse.

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood. Reopening!

Even better, automatically turn MD on if someone presses Ctrl-B, Ctrl-I etc. with selected text.

Has this issue been solved, or just closed? I can't find any infomation about what the shortcut is if it was.

Looks like the issue was resolved by #603
