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.
We correct a bug on Firefox where using the ESC key to close an edit
box that was opened by the left arrow key caused the message feed to
lose focus, making it difficult to navigate the message feed by
keyboard afterwards.
We fix this bug by changing the function that handles the ESC key
during an edit to pass the correct object to the message_edit.end
function.
Fixes#7072.
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.
Change the reaction popover to be based off the container elements
for the various message control icons. This will enable us to easily
control the visibility of the base element when the popover is opened
or closed. Also removes redundant `reactions_hover` class.
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
Previously, this hotkey was not correctly using the use_first_unread
option, and thus would take you to the close to your pointer, not your
first unread private message.
Fixes#5238.
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.
We now call the function toggle_selected_emoji(), and it
is simpler in these ways:
* We get the selected emoji more directly.
* We reuse code in toggle_emoji_reaction().
This is a follow-up to merging the compose and reactions emoji
pickers. The logic for what happens when the user picks an emoji via
the hotkeys (i.e. hits `enter`) was still attempting to add a reaction
to the currently selected message unconditionally.
This commit adds a check in the two `enter` key code paths, and does
the correct thing in each case.
Fixes#4736.
Rather than checking every modal individually in hotkey.js for
handing the escape key, we now use the modals API:
is_active: says whether any modal is open
close_active: closes the active modal
We were mapping the escape key to fake-click a redundant
click handler when the settings pages were open. This fix
lets the actual click handling work via modals.js, and it
lets keyboard handling directly calls modals.close_settings().
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 removes the old compose emoji picker in its entirety, changing
the few callbacks needed to launch the reactions-style emoji picker
instead and hook it up properly.
Callbacks for reactions and composing messages are distinguished by
selecting for, respectively, the .reaction and .composition classes.
Fixes#4122.
This is mostly just moving methods out of compose.js.
The variable `is_composing_message`, which isn't a boolean, has
been renamed to `message_type`, and there are new functions
set_message_type() and get_message_type() that wrap it.
This commit removes some shims related to the global variable
`compose_state`; now, `compose_state` is a typical global
variable with a 1:1 relationship with the module by the same
name.
The new module has 100% line coverage, most of it coming
via the tests on compose_actions.js. (The methods here are
super simple, so it's a good thing that the tests are somewhat
integrated with a higher layer.)
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().
