Editor: Pressing button to change current change page

Post by Zomis »

Pressing left/right to change current change page in editor would make it easier to make custom elements faster.
Other keys could be ctrl+left/right or ctrl+page up/down or another prefered combination.

Do you mean pressing the left/right keys? Well, such additional shortcuts would come handy for sure.
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

Yes, exactly.

And make key shortcuts for NEW and PASTE too! (And maybe even for DELETE and COPY, but I use NEW and PASTE much more.)

DELETE could use the delete key, and COPY and PASTE could be the classic Windows Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, respectively.

And NEW+PASTE! (Both actions triggered by one key.) How is it possible I haven't already mentioned that?

You already have mentioned that ;)

I just thought about another thing now... I suggest to avoid the Ctrl key in the "change current page" shortcuts, because holding Ctrl and clicking on an element drawable spot returns in picking that element up for drawing.

So good keys could be:
left/right - change current change page
copy - Ctrl+C
paste - Ctrl+V
New - insert
Delete - delete
New & Paste - I think Tomi should decide this one... ;) But "End" maybe?

Clarification: In the quoted post I meant them separately - one key for New, another one for Paste. In the newer one I proposed a key that creates a new page and immediately inserts content of clipboard in it.

Hint: Remember that "Insert", "Delete", "Home" and "End" are already used for quick element list navigation.

Hmm, that could be a problem.

If it's a problem, I think there should be a new section in main Setup: Key Shortucts 3. For example it would be possible to set shortcuts for:

Name|Default shortcut

Scroll element list up|Page Up
Scroll element list down|Page Down

...

Etc.
