Need more shortcuts for the desktop apps : Papers Support

started a topic about 1 year 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

Well designed keyboard shortcuts are absolutely essential, to aid a fast workflow. Please give this your highest priority.

I agree, simple thinks like copy+paste (cmd+c and cmd+v) in all textfields as search and also metadata should be supported (also within the pdf).

getting really great with each update!
