It's a bit dangerous for the user to hit escape
to close the feedback widget, since it can
disappear suddenly, but users will try it, and
we should just close the widget.
(Hitting escape should be a noop if the box
is closed, but now it goes to "All Messages".)
Our logic for doing pageup/pagedown calculation inside compose was
written too tightly, and ended up breaking the keys inside message
editing.
Fix this by using generic selectors that don't hardcode compose.
This adds a line to static/js/hotkey.js for focusing the "Close"
button. Tweaked by tabbott to make more clear that we don't expect
there to ever be both a close button and a save button, since in that
case this code would be busted.
Fixes: #3830.
Also adds relevant tests and documentation. We currently
do not narrow to a new topic, and instead just narrow to
the stream. Similarly, we do not narrow to a PM if any of
the recipients are invalid.
This fixes a bug where hitting the "n" hotkey was
causing double work related to the hashchange system.
The code is now organized like this:
do_open_create_stream() does the GUI piece
We call the above directly for hash changes.
For in-app actions, whether clicks or hotkeys,
we call open_create_stream(), which delegates
most of the work to do_open_create_stream() but
also updates the hash.
This is the natural behavior that most users will
probably expect. If you need to go to All Messages when
topics are zoomed in, you can just hit ESC twice.
Before this change, if you hit ESC, then hotkey
code would call search.clear_search, which would
call narrow.deactivate(), which would then use
`$('#search_query')` to clear a value, but then
let search.clear_search blur the input and
disable the exit button. It was all confusing.
Things are a bit more organized now.
Now the code works like this:
hotkey.process_escape_key
Just call narrow.deactivate.
$('#search_exit').on('click', ...):
Just call narrow.deactivate.
narrow.deactivate:
Just call search.clear_search_form
search.clear_search_form:
Just do simple jquery stuff. Don't
change the entire user's narrow, not
even indirectly!
There's still a two-way interaction between
the narrow.js module and the search.js module,
but in each direction it's a one-liner.
The guiding principle here is that we only
want one top-level API, which is narrow.deactivate,
and that does the whole "kitchen sink" of
clearing searches, closing popovers, switching
in views, etc. And then all the functions it
calls out to tend to have much smaller jobs to
do.
This commit can mostly be considered a refactoring, but the
order of operations changes slightly. Basically, as
soon as you hit ESC or click on the search "X", we
clear the search widget. Most users won't notice
any difference, because we don't have to hit the
server to populate the home view. And it's arguably
an improvement to give more immediate feedback.
This is sort of a temporary fix to bring the state back to how it
was in commit: ef4337edcb. However,
long-term we will need to fix our local echo feature to do merging
of names just like we do on backend.
Pressing `Esc` did not blur a contenteditable div by default, while
an input field was blurred by default. Due to this when a user tried
to unnarrow using `Esc` key when the searchbox had focus, the focus
remained stuck in the div itself and no further action was taken.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
This disables `ctrl + shift + [`, while `ctrl + [` will still trigger
an action.
Also, add a test for ensuring that the `ctrl + shift` combinations fall
through.
This disables `cmd-or-ctrl + shift + k` and `cmd-or-ctrl + shift + s`,
while `cmd-or-ctrl + k` and `cmd-or-ctrl + s` will still trigger
actions.
Also, add tests for ensuring that the `cmd-or-ctrl + shift`
combinations fall through.
Fix#9779.
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.
This is preparation for enabling an eslint indentation configuration.
90% of these changes are just fixes for indentation errors that have
snuck into the codebase over the years; the others are more
significant reformatting to make eslint happy (that are not otherwise
actually improvements).
The one area that we do not attempt to work on here is the
"switch/case" indentation.
The blur_search() function was removed in this commit:
See da06832837
We now no longer attempt to call it. It's not completely clear
to me what this did before, but we are rewriting a lot of the
keyboard navigation for search anyway.
We consistently either pass a `then_select_id` into narrow.activate,
or were using the select_first_unread option. Now, we just compute
select_first_unread based on the value of then_select_id.
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 commit migrates realm emoji to be addressed by their `id` rather
than their name. This fixes a long standing issue which was causing
an error on uploading an emoji with same name as a deactivated realm
emoji.
Fixes: #6977.
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
Wait until the server acks a message before we enable
the message popover menu. This prevents a whole class
of bugs related to re-drawing the message and changing
the message id, and it also makes room for a little
spinner in the future.
Users with decent internet connections will generally
get server responses before they can click on the
chevron or hit esc/i, anyway.
