Formatting toolbar: Chat and Keyboard Shortcut Table
Looking at the examples in Microsoft's Guidelines for Keyboard User Interface Design the order is:
CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, [key]
This is consistent with Apple Developer Document, Custom keyboard shortcuts, which explicitly state that the correct order is:
Control, Option, Shift, Command.
List modifier keys in the correct order. If you use more than one modifier key in a custom shortcut, always list them in this order:
Control, Option, Shift, Command
.
Please note that LibreOffice and GIMP does not seem to follow this convention (perhaps this is only on GNU/Linux?)
- Change keyboard modifiers so that the order is
CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, [key]
in both theKeyboard Shortcut Table
and theFormatting toolbar popups
(a) Strikethrough: ChangeShift+Ctrl+X
toCtrl+Shift+X
(b) Quote: ChangeShift+Alt+9
toAlt+Shift+9
(c) Unordered list: ChangeShift+Alt+8
toAlt+Shift+8
(d) Ordered list: ChangeShift+Alt+7
toAlt+Shift+7

Change
Formatting toolbar
popupTitle
toHeading
to be consistent with theKeyboard Shortcut Table
and theH
icon. -
Should the order of the buttons be changed from:
Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Heading, separator, Link, Code, Quote, Unordered list, Ordered list
to: (and removing the separator)
Heading, Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Quote, Code, Link, Unordered list, Ordered list
for consistency with GitLab
-
Should the keyboard shortcut for:
(a)Unordered list
beShift+F12
(Inspiration from LibreOffice WriterToggle Unordered List (Shift+F12)
)
(b)Ordered list
beF12
(Inspiration from LibreOffice WriterToggle Ordered List (F12)
)
(c)Code
beAlt+X
(Inspiration from LibreOffice WriterToggle Unicode Notation (Alt+X)
)
(d)Link
beCtrl+K
(Inspiration from both LibreOffice and Thunderbird) -
Should the following be added:
(a)Underline
This makes the following underlined: <u>some text</u>
(b)No list
beCtrl+Shift+F12
(Inspiration from LibreOffice WriterNo List (Shift+Ctrl+F12)
). Perhaps not required if the ordered/unordered lists are toggles -
When using the buttons, Bold and Italic use
**text**
and*text*
respectively so that it is not possible to have both bold and italic text. It seems that<b><i>text</i></b>
works. Should the buttons in the Formatting toolbar be updated to<b></b>
and<i></i>
so that both bold and italic can be applied to text? -
In
Keyboard Shortcut Table
, should the headingMarkdown
be changed toFormat
?
Markdown
seems to be a technical term and the items underMarkdown
all refer to things that are in theFormatting toolbar
(in both Jami ad LibreOffice).
In LibreOffice, these options are found in:
(a) Menu Bar, Format, Text
(b) Menu Bar, Format, Lists
(c) Menu Bar, Insert, Hyperlink (however this is calledLink
and is located the formatting toolbar in Thunderbird)
What do you think?
Sorry for the long issue.
Thank you
