* Keyboard shortcut challenges @ 2024-04-16 10:56 Aditya Toshniwal <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Aditya Toshniwal @ 2024-04-16 10:56 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pgadmin-hackers Hi Hackers, I'm working on removing the usage of Access Keys(which varies based on OS and Browser combination) for keyboard shortcuts and instead use shortcuts similar to all other IDEs. The challenge here is OS. MacOS has an extra key - Meta, which pgAdmin doesn't take as part of keyboard shortcut currently. In fact, Mac can take Ctrl separately. pgAdmin can run as a web app so it's even more difficult. It is not possible to have multiple shortcuts based on the OS of the browser. I suggest we consider Ctrl as Meta when running on a Mac. Please let me know what you think.

That way - users will have more control.

If they do not treat Meta key differently, then we shouldn't.

Which means, a pgAdmin server hosted on linux can be opened on a Mac machine browser.

As I mentioned above, only one of them could be selected to allow working on other OS's. On other OS like windows, "Ctrl" and "Cmd" will be treated the same, "Cmd" will be hidden and "Option" will change on "Alt". I also made some UI improvements like moving shift, ctrl, alt keys before the key input and making it more compact. Please let me know your thoughts.
