Taiga-front: Integrate keyboard navigation

Created on 26 Dec 2014 · 8Comments · Source: taigaio/taiga-front

many tools we use integrate keyboard navigation to some degree.

the new google drive layout has full keyboard navigation

code repository sites like github / bitbucket have it in a way you can navigate to the specific pages, like the following shortcuts from bitbucket:

r + i takes you to the issues page
x + p takes you to the create pull request page
f allows you to search
...

tools like trello which is very similar to Taiga, offers a vast range of keyboard shortcuts, many of which should be very useful in taiga too, to shorten time spent doing repetitive tasks.

space while hovering over a US, assign yourselve to the ticket
arrowkeys to navigate a kanban board
return open an issue
...

I'm sure a few basic commands could get a keyboard key assigned to them. but I'm also aware that full keyboard navigation is not done overnight. and requires both UX, a little Design, a bit more coding and lots of analysis to get it right.

but I would be happy with a few commands to start with, and some more thorough implementation later on the roadmap.

I am constantly trying to use Ctrl + Enter to save descriptions or create new items (issues, stories, etc.). Also pressing Enter in the autocomplete field of tags sends the whole form instead of adding the tag, and that's not intuitive at all.

to go further, i just implemented angular hotkeys in a project of mine.
and it's a breeze to work with. you can bind hotkeys to scope, controllers, routes, ...
very interesting but still a task to first define which hotkeys you want to support of course.

for the reference if you ever pick up this ticket, i bet this will be the library that will help you on your way.

Still extremely missing ctrl + enter feature.

683 could probably be closed in favour of this one.

Yes, it should be very nice to provide the first basic ctrl + enter and be patient for the other.

We have been doing some housecleaning work prior to Taiga6 upcoming release and we are rejecting old issues that we didn't correctly attend back then. Since Taiga6 brings a significant UX/UI rework, we encourage you to wait and see if Taiga6 satisfies this need and open a new issue if that's not the case. This time we will make sure to review it when it comes through. Thank you very much on behalf of the Taiga Team!
