So yes, it is not a replacement of the keyboard: is a way to USE the keyboard in Calypso.
My little test... <CTRL-O><B> brings up the browser Arrow keys scroll the Packages pane. What I can't seem to do via keyboard is get to the "Filter..." input box That could be useful. Perhaps <CTRL-F> from here could be re-purposed for "Filter..."? How many people currently use <CTRL-F> from the Packages pane? (I never have) The next thing to determine is how to move to the Class pane. <TAB> could be a good candidate? Also, <CTRL-TAB> currently opens an Inspector on the currently selected package or class. Is that a common requirement? <CTRL-TAB> might be better used to cycle between the tabs in the bottom pane, which would align with common usage in web browsers? The above functional reassignments of <CTRL-F>, <TAB> & <CTRL-TAB> could provide a reasonably good start to keyboard-only browser use. Where can the current definitions of these for Calypso be found?
Kkhmmm. I'll try to survive. I'm talking about moving left, right, up, down, choose/enter, escape - that kind of things, basic things. As I see from posts on various places (e. g. on stack overflow) this is an ongoing debate for years, about shortcuts defined in several places, text editor hijacking the keyboard, etc.
Pharo has been working to consolidate these - still ongoing. If someone can provide a lead in to the related definitions for Calypso's <CTRL-F>, <TAB> & <CTRL-TAB> perhaps experiment with it and propose a PR. cheers -ben
