Need more shortcuts for the desktop apps :

started a topic 4 months ago

The app experience could be considerably improved by adding shortcuts to the following categories of tasks: navigation, annotation.

Things I can think of right now in each category:

Navigation:

Move between tabs using standard Mac key-bindings for tab shifting
Move between tabs using Cmd+tab_number.
Go to the main view using Cmd+1 (which is tab number 1) like in legacy Papers app
Bind Cmd+E to edit metadata for a paper like in legacy Papers app
Add key bindings for various kinds of "copy-as"
Add shortcuts to bring up and dismiss the menu in reading mode and facility to navigate through the menu items using tab or some other key combination

Annotation:

Finally, it would be good to add a preference section where users can change these shortcuts.

Please add the standard shortcuts, and make it easy to annotate in various ways with just the keyboard. That is very important
