I would like to suggest some additions to the german keyboard shortcuts as described here: http://help.dynalist.io/article/91-keyboard-shortcut-reference#other-keyboard-layouts.
Already fixed keyboard shortcuts: (listed for completeness)
-
Zoom in:
[Ctrl]+[]]
is already fixed to[Alt]+[Right]
. -
Zoom out:
[Ctrl]+[[]
is already fixed to[Alt]+[Left]
.
Problematic keyboard shortcuts:
-
Toogle help:
[Ctrl]+[/]
works, but as key combination[Ctrl]+[#]
, maybe it shoud be declared as such. -
Toogle help:
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[/]
works, but as key combination[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[#]
, maybe it shoud be declared as such. -
Zoom in previous item:
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[]]
does not work. I suggest[Alt]+[Up]
instead, to be consitent with âZoom inâ and âZoom outâ. -
Zoom in next item:
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[[]
does not work. I suggest[Alt]+[Down]
instead., to be consistent with âZoom inâ and âZoom outâ. -
Format as code:
[Ctrl]+[backtick]
does not work. I suggest[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[´]
instead, as[Shift]+[´]
produces the backtick, to be consistent with the respective markdown character. -
Clear color label:
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[backtick]
does not work. I suggest[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[^]
instead, as the[^]
key is right next to the[1]
key.
Working keyboard shortcuts I suggest to change or add:
-
Clear heading:
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[0]
works, but I would suggest using[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[^]
, to be consistent with âClear color labelâ.
For reference, here are the problematic symbols that are not reachable on the german keyboard without a modifier key: `=[];â/
Edit:
I found, the problematic symbols do infact have a direct equivalent (a key with the same virtual key code):
[backtick]
= [Ăś]
, [=]
= [+]
, [[]
= [Ă]
, []]
= [´]
, [\]
= [^]
, [;]
= [Ăź]
, [']
= [ä]
, [/]
= [#]
I.e. all keyboard shortcuts are actually usable, if you know what keys to press instead. However, my suggestion to alter the above shortcuts for the german keyboard layout, still stands.
Edit 2:
Ad Clear heading: [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[0]
is the exact key combination that produces the closing curly brace }
, making it impossible to type the aforementioned. Yet another reason to change this keyboard shortcut for the german keyboard layout.
