Additional comments
Could it be conflicting keyboards mappings? Is there a way to change it?
So this shortcut used to beAlt+Left and Alt+Right, but because they conflict with the native way to navigate between words, we changed it, but didnāt change the tooltip text.
The correct shortcut should be Control+Left/Right for macOS.
Thatās weird. If you check the āViewā menu, āNavigate back/forwardā is using Ctrl+Left/Right and those menu options work for me. Weird that the shortcut doesnāt work.
I have found that I can only use the āNavigateā command if the document is not focussed for editing. So either I have to click on the side pane, or use something like CMD-OESC to lose the focus. Would be nice if there was way to lose the extra keystrokes.
I do, but ideally one should be able work using only keyboard, without the mouse, as that is oftentimes much faster. Would like to see Dynalist as super-efficient solution!
This is related to the need expressed in Recent file in File Finder as well. Would like to rapidly navigate between recent files using keyboard only, something like CMD-TAB to move around stack of recently visited items.
Yes, I definitely agree. The options in the āViewā menu does work, but for some reason the macOS system has intercepted the Ctrl+Left/Right shortcut (I think to switch workspaces?). We have to look into how to bypass that or switch to another shortcut if nothing works out.
As a Pro user you can already do that for most shortcuts in Dynalist! Itās available under settings - keymap. Unfortunately this shortcut is more of a system shortcut and we donāt provide customization for it yet.
Hi @Wayne_Smith, sorry for digging this up ! Weāre cleaning up the bugs and would like to know if the bug is still happening to you? If not weāll close this bug
Sorry for the super late update. Recently (back around beginning of April), we changed the go back/forward shortcuts on the desktop app to be the consistent with the browsers.
Now you can use Cmd+Left/Right to go back and forward, when thereās nothing focused. If youāre focusing on something, you can now use the Esc to remove the focus.
I hope that helps! If you could kindly confirm that, Iāll mark this bug as fixed.
Here is image of what I see in the menu.
