Add keyboard shortcuts for previous/next move (3.01 KB, patch)

Description Adam Dingle 2013-07-09 01:15:31 UTC
It would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts which go to the previous or next move.  I suggest the following:

- Alt+Left Arrow: previous move
- Alt+Right Arrow: next move
- Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow: rewind to game start
- Crtl+Alt+Right Arrow: forward to current move

The patch above attempts to implement this, but the combination of Ctrl+Alt+Arrow just doesn't work.  I'm actually completely stumped by this.  Alt+Arrow works fine, as does Ctrl+Arrow and Ctrl+Shift+Arrow....

Ctrl+Alt+Arrow feels like the "right" hotkey for this purpose.  Are there other apps using it; I haven't been able to find another app that uses this combination?

Well, some window managers use Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right for other purposes.  For example, in Ubuntu those keys move to the next or previous workspace.  So perhaps it would be best to choose other keybindings.  Maybe Alt+Shift+Left and Alt+Shift+Right?

Good point, that combination would be terrible if you had horizontal workspaces... and I think every major desktop other than GNOME allows those.  In fact, that's surely why the key combination doesn't work.

Pushed using Alt+Shift+Arrow.

Fantastic - thanks!
