keyboard shortcuts for previous/next move
Last modified: 2013-07-22 15:36:28 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

(In reply to comment #0) > - 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!
