This works for other text boxes as well, but compose is the main one
that one would want to do a search from.
It's possible we'll find after doing this that "getting back into
compose" becomes a problem, but I guess we can handle that when the
time comes.
There are several ways we open help for keyboard shortcuts,
markdown help, and search operators.
- from the gear menu
- from the compose box
- from the search box
- hitting ? for keyboard help
- arrowing/clicking through the tabs
This just moves the relevant code into a module and changes a
bunch of one-line calls in various places.
This works simimlar to the "n" key for next topics.
This commit does a few things:
* It wires up the hotkey to an existing function
that could change narrows.
* It adds documentation.
* It adds logic to make sure the compose box does
not open.
@showell helped a bit with the wording of comments here.
Fixes#4874
On a standard keyboard, 'q' is to the left of 'w', so it makes sense
for the hotkeys for the left and right sidebars to be `q` and `w`,
respectively, not the other way around.
We now use similar code for A/D hotkeys as we do for the "n"
key.
The old code was using jQuery operations that got tripped up
by our splitters between active and inactive streams.
Fixes#4569
This moves all the code dealing with emoji_picker
navigation and click/enter events to emoji_picker.js.
Some of the code still delegates back to reactions.js
in some way.
The navigate() code really does nothing reaction-specific,
nor does filter_emojis(), nor do some of their helpers.
This was mostly moving code, but I also did some
s/reaction// or s/reaction/emoji/ in names.
The function modals.is_active() can see if modals are open
without having to look at the DOM. This should make it snappier
to type in the compose box. Even if the speedup is pretty minor,
not having to worry about jQuery slowness should make it easier
to diagnose future compose box issues.
The new function gets used in other places, too, where performance
isn't so much an issue.
This focuses the body content of the informational overlay after
going to it from "?" so that you can use up and down arrows to then
scroll the content easily.
Fixes: #4480.
This moves respond_to_mention() and reply_with_mention() to
compose_actions.js. These methods are basically thin layers
on top of compose_actions.start().
We've had this kind of hacky setting called message_view_only for
a long time in the hotkeys code, and it originally helped optimize
the code a bit. It wasn't well maintained, and people started
adding non-message-view behavior to the arrow keys without flipping
that flag to false. This change finally flips the flag to false,
which simplifies some of our logic.
We now explicitly return true from process_hotkey() when we
handle up/down/backspace for the drafts modal. Also, we no longer
call preventDefault() from drafts.draft_handle_events(), since the
caller does that, and we no longer return `true`, since we were
never inspecting the return value anyway.
The up/down arrows now navigate the left pane of the settings menu.
The code here was originally implemented as part of our settings
redesign, but the code was added in a place that became unreachable
after we fixed a bug with home_tab_obscured(). This commit
resurrects the code and places the guts of it in settings.js. It
is possible that we want to clean this code up eventually to deal
better with hidden blocks.
The code here used to live in hotkey.js. Its complicated calling
protocol made it difficult to unit test. We are also trying to
slim down hotkey.js.
Our arrow navigation for things like `#stream_filters` has always
been kind of awkward, since it's difficult to get the focus to
their list items. This commit does nothing to fix that yet.
* 'd' in message view opens drafts.
This also adds hotkeys within the drafts UI:
* Up/down arrow keys navigate the drafts.
* Pressing enter edits the selected draft.
* Pressing backspace deletes the selected draft.
Some variable names tweaked by tabbott.
This adds an image feed that you can scroll through with hotkeys
in the lightbox.
The left and right arrow keys along with the left and right arrows
will go to the prev/next image, and clicking on an image will also
take a user to that image.
We simplify hotkey mappings by using different hashes for
keydown and keypress events. There are browser bugs (iOS, for
example) where keypress events have the wrong keyCode values.
This led us, under iOS, to interpret "!" as "page up."
This fix also helps us disinguish escape from shift-escape.
Brock Whittaker helped on figuring out the keypress/keydown
issues that are addressed in this commit.
Fixes#4019
The initial version of the tests cover most normal keys, but they
do not cover special keys like enter/tab/escape or arrow keys
or home/end/page-down/page-up yet.
