Click an item and then hit Cmd-O, observe quick open window is shown
Click into the filter textbox and hit Cmd-O, observe default browser File Open dialog is shown
Expected result
DL handles all expected keyboard shortcuts regardless of which part of the app has focus.
Actual result
Only browser recognizes keyboard shortcuts.
Environment
Firefox 57.0, macOS 10.13.1
Additional information
I first thought this bug was only about filter and Show/Hide completed items toggle, where this bug burns me daily. I.e.,
Have completed items hidden
Enter filter query that I know has a completed item results
No results observed, as expected
Hit keyboard shortcut to toggle showing hidden items, but nothing happens. Have to manually hit icon, or get out of filter textbox.
But now I realize all (or at least most) shortcuts donāt work while textbox has focus (except for Esc I guess). E.g., notes toggle (Cmd-Shift-N for me) reopens last closed window etc.
Additional comments
Workflowy has no problem responding to keyboard shortcuts in its filter box, can you please copy its behavior? Hereās me hitting Cmd-O (which is its show/hide toggle) while in textbox.
Itās slightly more complicated than that. Global scope means itāll work with anything, including file-renaming and in any modals thatās shown on top of the interface. Might need to go through the scopes we have and sort them out one by one.
Works great now, I saw this in this weekās release notes and was very happy for it.
Unfortunately, one most recent update also wiped out all of my keyboard shortcuts, reset them back to defaults. Iāve been too busy to see if anyone else reported that issue. I think maybe adding the 2 new shortcuts for toggle note/completed globally did it. I already restored most, so probably not worth reporting, but I hope that doesnāt happen again, as the settings are not possible to back up and then restore in case of something like this.
Didnāt have to me, I had around 5 shortcuts customized. Also I believe the shortcut customization system shouldnāt wipe out any existing customization from adding new, empty shortcuts. A few shortcuts have been added during the past few months (duplicate item, go to parent, etc.), and havenāt heard of this issue.
Are you using the desktop app or the web app? Is it possible that under a certain scenario the local settings got wiped somehow?
Web app using Firefox v58. You know, at one point the browser loaded strangely, and all add-ons were disabled (maybe safe mode was accidentally activated?) So PowerPack was off, etc.
However, since the keyboard shortcut preferences are stored on the server, would that have affected them? Which ones are the ālocal settingsā that you reference?
I could try forcing FF to launch in safe mode again to try to repro this, but I donāt really want to reproduce that and have to set up everything yet again
Btw, I was doing this to try to repro that other issue with the date picker, where we thought some add-on might be slowing rendering, but Iām not going to try that again, except maybe disabling one by one. Will instead see if I can repro with another browser.
Yes, this does seem quite possibly related to this. Then it came back online and saved at least some of those defaults on top of my online ones, like key mappings? I didnāt lose all my customization though, e.g., date format stayed.
This reset only happened once, so I wonāt be offended if you ignore that issue to focus on higher priority. But an āimport/exportā settings or a settings backup (to Dropbox etc.) would be great fixes for this, just in case it happens again.
