[xwiki-devs] [Colibri Skin] [Proposal] Move Jump action
Hi, I was talking to Marta and we came across the "Jump" action (*Jump to any page in the wiki (Meta+G)*) The problem is that it has low visibility and it's not well placed in the "Quick Links" panel. *A.* First solution - make a "Keyboard Shortcuts" panel with different shortcuts taken from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/KeyboardShortcuts But (Meta+G) is still operating system dependent and with an advanced user target. *B. *How about we put it near the Search input, in the right corner? You can see a mockup at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Skin20P1/jump.p... This will be not the final version of the UI for the jump, but just to get the point. Thanks, Caty

I like *B. (it's quite similar to what TWiki does). Its UI would obviously need some love though :-) However I think we should keep the shortcut working too -> using the shortcut should send the caret in the "Jump" field. Guillaume

Hello, If you are going to re-work it, please take advantage of this to hardcode the link in the panel - if it stays in a panel - (right now it's injected by Javascript, which makes it near-to-impossible for someone not technical to modify/delete it). And agreed, "Meta + G" is very cryptic for the regular user audience. Thanks, Jerome. Ecaterina Valica wrote:

Hi J, If we place the Jump in an input, we gonna take it from the panel. No need for duplicates. And G, we could still have the shortcut available. On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 15:50, Jerome Velociter <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi, WDYT about having a keyboard shortcuts help lightbox which would be triggered when pressing the '?' key (gmail style) ? We could have a sentence in the footer (small font) suggesting to the user to press '?' to get info about the available shortcuts. JV.

This is interesting and would be nice to have such a lightbox. The thing is that they need to have the same style. Right now we have the integration with Bespin. Press CTRL+J in the wiki and the Bespin console pops out. If you press CTRL+G you have our Jump action. If we gonna have this lightbox we need that pressing SHIFT + ? to popup the shortcuts lightbox. We could add some links to the Help pages in that lightbox. Because for me, when I think about SHIFT + ?, I think first at Help and then at Shortcuts.
