Hi Dave,Please find attached updated patch for keyboard preferences (infrastructure part only).In this patch I have changed keyboard shortcut UI in preferences dialogand added jasmine test cases for newly added backform control.--Harshal DhumalSr. Software EngineerOn Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 5:34 PM, Dave Page <dpage@pgadmin.org> wrote:On Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 12:03 PM, Harshal Dhumal <harshal.dhumal@enterprisedb.com> wrote: On Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 4:52 PM, Dave Page <dpage@pgadmin.org> wrote:On Tue, Jan 23, 2018 at 6:31 AM, Harshal Dhumal <harshaldhumal15@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Dave,On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 5:26 PM, Dave Page <dpage@pgadmin.org> wrote:HiOn Fri, Jan 19, 2018 at 9:29 AM, Harshal Dhumal <harshal.dhumal@enterprisedb.com> wrote: Hi Dave,On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 4:58 PM, Dave Page <dpage@pgadmin.org> wrote:HiTo summarise an offline discussion we just had, the intention is to replace the switches with checkboxes for Shift, Control, and Alt/Option, then to try to come up with a set of default shortcuts that work on the major platforms/browsers. Investigation into Javascript's handling of keycodes vs. strings is ongoing to figure out the best way to capture and display the selected keys for non-ASCII locales (String.fromCharCode()).I have replaced switches with checkboxes and also showing all controls for one preference in single line.I'm still not happy with the way that looks. Wrapping "Alt/Option" looks horrible - plus it also looks a little odd that labels are closer to the preceding controls than to the following controls to which they actually apply.Regarding String.fromCharCode() to reverse map keycode to char (actual char on keyboard) does not work for all keyboard keys.For eg. on mac with standard keyboard and with my locale settings I got below behaviour.For key tilde (~) I got keycode 192 (Unicode value of the pressed keyboard key as per docs) andwhen I tried to map 192 (String.fromCharCode(192)) to get actual char, I got ÀSo instead of mapping keycode to char for display purposse I'm using char which is returned by event objectOK, sounds fine.Regarding the patch:- It's missing doc updatesMy patch is related to add infrastructure for keyboard shortcut preferences and not to add any particular preference.We can add docs for actual keyboard preference when we start adding keyboard preferences.I share two patches out of one is example (keyboard shortcut preferences for debugger) and not a final patch.It's purpose is provide example (for developers only) about how to add keyboard preferences.Please let me know which doc updates are you expecting?Good point - I missed that it's only the infrastructure part that's ready to go.My other comments stand; there's got to be a nicer way to present the UI, and I'd like to see the JS broken up into smaller chunks, with tests, if feasible.Yes, I have changed UI (attached screen-shot).That looks much nicer.Regarding JS code, almost 99% code from this patch constitutesbackfrom controls and control formtter (KeyCodeControl, KeyboardshortcutControl, KeyCodeControlForm atter) and we never had a case where we have written jasmine test cases for backform controls. I'm currently exploring if we can write jasmine test cases forbackform control.Understood.Thanks.--Dave Page
