@erica or @Yatharth_Agarwal can you reproduce this?
Hmā¦ I donāt even see these on-screen arrows.
Hitting Alt/Opt-ā
and Opt-ā
on macOS navigates the cursor by words.
@Wayne_Smith If you want to go backwards and forwards in history in Chrome on macOS, you can use Cmd-[
and Cmd-]
.
Hi @Wayne_Smith,
So this shortcut used to be Alt+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.
Control+Left/Right
donāt work for me. It has exactly the same effect as CMD
, which is to jump to the end or beginning of line in the text.
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.
Confused Here is image of what I see in the menu.
Yeah, I tried clicking on the āNavigate backā and āNavigate forwardā buttons, and they do 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-O
ESC
to lose the focus. Would be nice if there was way to lose the extra keystrokes.
In that case you can just click on the backward/forward buttons on the top left corner, that sounds faster.
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.
Neither Ctrl+Left/Right nor Alt+Left/Right work for me and I would love to see this implemented, as I use keyboard shortcuts a lot.
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.
It would be great if we could customize shortcuts in a future version of Dynalist!
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
Hi Erica,
I downloaded the latest desktop app to be sure, but the alt arrows do nothing
Added this to our new tracking system, hopefully weāll get to it soon!
Hi @Wayne_Smith,
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.
