Hi devs,
We’re currently using http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/ but it has
some limitations. Clement and I tried to find some unused combinations of keys that works
on Mac and Unix and we couldn’t find any that worked with it. It also doesn’t support
having combinations with several letters for example.
For example we could imagine having H+H+H for turning on/off hidden documents (as a
developer key sequence since it’s not a user use case).
I’d like to propose using https://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/ which is under the Apache 2
license and that seems to work well on Mac and Unix and it’s very powerful.
See sequence combos for example.
The API look simple and nice and I don’t think it would be hard to continue support our
data structure inside the “shortcuts” variable to make it work with it.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Replace OpenJS Keyboard JS with Keypress JS for handling keyboard shoirtcuts
Really a good idea to address this!
So my +1.
However, I think it would get more +1 if “see sequence combos for example” is made clear
to me.
My problem with the current keybinding is that it conflicts with things which I expect to
work in each web-page. In particular cmd-G which I expect to be “find next” and which
works on all websites I regularly use except XWikis.
thanks in advance.

Maybe with the new library we can make cheat codes like "CTRL + X + W + i+
k+ i + D + e + v + T + e + a +m + R + o +x" in order to take over the wiki
:)

This wasn’t a vote but here’s the result: 3 +1 and 4 +0.
So @Clement, I think we should plan this now :) WDYT?

Yep, absolutely :)
Just created XWIKI-14808 for this job. I'll try to give it a shot in the
next weeks.
