Tridactyl: Ignore mode works in Jupyter, but not in JupyterLab

[barryridge]

Ignore mode works fairly well in vanilla Jupyter, but not in its IDE sibling (and future successor), JupyterLab.

Specifically, important functionality like moving between cells, inserting/deleting cells, etc., doesn't seem to work whether ignore mode is switched on or off.

A workaround is to open the notebooks in classic form (which is possible under JupyterLab by going to Help -> Launch Classic Notebook), but one forgoes all of the IDE niceties, including being able to open a Python console in the same window as the notebook, which is particularly useful.

Using the latest beta at the time of writing (1.13.0-4-g335e994), Firefox 60.0.2, Jupyter 4.4.0, JupyterLab 0.32.1 and Python 3.6.

I had the same issue but it appears that you can just blacklist the entire JupyterLab, eg blacklistadd mail.google.com/mail. Works for me

I've recently been finding that the vim bindings extension for Jupyter sans lab makes it very uncooperative (no text editing possible) with Tridactyl, even with it in ignore mode, to the point where I have to use Chrome to actually get any work done.

My issue was caused by set allowautofocus false.

I've actually recently started using spacemacs with the IPython Notebook layer and I'm much happier with this setup now. Full-ish vim modal editing thanks to evil-mode, the ability to quickly switch between open file/notebook buffers and copy/paste between them, full seamless graphical rendering of the notebook thanks to emacs (yes, yes, I know, I know). I could see this workflow potentially working out better than actually using Jupyter in the browser and trying to make it work properly with tridactyl or similar.

In any case, I still use tridactyl in Firefox and am quite glad to have it for regular browsing. Cheers to the contributors! I'll still try out any potential solutions posted here for the JupyterLab issue, as it would be good to have it working all the same.

When I run seturl mybinder.org\/user\/jupyterlab allowautofocus true and mode ignore Tridactyl behaves quite well on https://hub.mybinder.org/user/jupyterlab-jupyterlab-demo-kchmdags/lab . I can type things, move around with the cursor keys, run things using JupyterLab's keybindings...
Are you still experiencing issues using JupterLab with Tridactyl?
