adding intuitive keyboard shortcuts / navigation.
Ahmed Ifhaam
this might be coming from a place of bias. But many editors already have this feature incorporated, I know Yaak is not a code editor, but I believe many users who use Yaak for their simplicity probably also uses vscode a lot (I have no data to back this, perhaps you can pull a poll). And the most used in-built API testing method in VSCode is using "REST Client", an extension with 5 stars and 4.5 Million downloads. It uses some shortcuts like
CTRL + ALT + K
to cancel requests, etc. I feel like at least matching other global shortcuts like pressing F2
to rename a request should just be there. At the moment, we'd have to right click, click on rename, and click the dialogue box that pops up to confirm. That is okay, but F2
should be there too I believe. There is no harm in matching shortcut with something existing and popular. But, if you feel like the spirit of the app is to have an intuitive GUI instead of using the KB shortcuts, that's fine too. But I think expecting the basic universally used shortcuts like F2
and perhaps proper Tab
& Shift + Tab
Navigation would be a really good feature to have.
