HotKeys for macOS

[successgo]

Hi, thank you for the fantastic software.

macOS is mainly using Command other than Control like Command + T to open new page. Can we keep this convention?

I'm using hackintosh to compile and distribute this app for macOS and I do NOT have an apple keyboard to test with hotkeys. I can't guarantee that the current changes are consistent with macOS user habits.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Cool, I'll check that later.

Confirmed: CMD+W and CMD+T worked very well. I thought others should be too because I don't use them.

Thank you @love-linger

The HotKeys from main menu shows all the hotkeys used by this app.

Could you help me to test these hotkeys?

[successgo]

Tested and all working fine.

But reguarding F5, while reloading done, the focus is updated to the middle of the commit history other that the top and I have to scroll to the top, did that design so?

For text editor searching:
On Chrome and Rider, Enter is for next match, and Shift + Enter is for the previous match.

Also for next page:
It would be great to use Ctrl + Tab as in windows, and it would be better to add Shift + Ctrl + Tab to go to previous page.

Also for stage / unstage:
It would be great to use Enter other than Space.

Nice to have:
On macOS, while editing there are some global shortcuts to use, like Ctrl + F to move the cursor to the right of one character and Ctrl + B do the opposite, and Ctrl + P to move the cursor to the previous line and Ctrl + N to the cursor the next line.

1. After reloading repository, the selected commit keeps to the last selected one. See PR fix: keep selected commit after _commits var reassigned #104
2. It's the built-in hotkeys in AvaloniaEdit control.
3. I'll consider to add these keys.
4. The TreeView/ListView/DataGrid has these built-in hotkeys.

I have just confirmed that use Enter for next match and Shift+Enter for previous match is also worked on Windows

1. Sorry, You are right. This is great to keep the last selected commit.

I have just confirmed that use Enter for next match and Shift+Enter for previous match is also worked on Windows

I just confirmed it's also working fine for macOS.

While digging more on searching:

1. Search Files on CHANGES tab does not support shortcut, like Ctrl + F on windows and Command + F on macOS.
2. Search commits and search text, both are using Ctrl + F to invoke, but cancel searching is using different approach, it will be better to keep consistence, ESC to cancel would be good.

• add Shift+Ctrl+Tab (⌘+⌥+← on macOS) to go to previous page
• use ESC to cancel commit searching

Hi @love-linger
As for switching pages Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab does not work in v8.11.

Hi @love-linger As for switching pages Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab does not work in v8.11.

Which OS do you use? On macOS, the hotkey to switch pages is ⌘+⌥+← and ⌘+⌥+→

[successgo]

It's macOS. I thought you added Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab.

@love-linger Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab would be nice, but having at least ⌘+⌥+← and ⌘+⌥+→ is nice. :) However, it seems that they clash with other shortcuts and don't work properly if focus is e.g. in the histories graph or "Search Files" field in CHANGES tab.
