Comments on A proposal for keyboard shortcuts

A proposal for keyboard shortcuts

+4

(This may not be the simplest feature request. It's also not extremely high priority. It's a nice-to-have, not imperative, and may not be possible at the moment - which is fine.)


Everyone loves keyboard shortcuts. Programmers are known to love using their keyboards to whiz around without touching the mouse, and even other people often prefer the ease of using the keyboard and not having to change input methods all the time. It's also a type of accessibility feature (disclaimer: I wrote that).

In that vein, I'd love to see keyboard shortcuts arrive here on Codidact in some form. I've lined out a few commands that I'd think would be useful and are in line with my experience using keyboard shortcuts elsewhere on the 'net (Twitter, Stack, etc.).

Can't have d twice under "vote"... other than that, looks good. Not trivial to implement, though...

@ArtOfCode - ah yes. I moved "delete" out into its own tool. (I had originally had both close and delete separate from vote, but then moved close in so as not to interfere with comment. I then put delete in for consistency, but overlooked the duplicate "d".)

Not trivial, as Art said, but definitely someone, we can have a userscript for first and then later add to core. I can look at it later/tomorrow, though.

Okay... Easier than I thought. I have something almost ready (missing: migrate post, but idk if that already exists) and will share it tomorrow.
