Keyboard Usability #315

Here are some keyboard related issues. I've decided to pack them all into one issue because they all are pretty similar. If you prefer I'll split them up.

  • Enter in permission box

Ok so this was a huuuuuge petpeeve when working with the editor. Namely that there's no way to add nodes without the mouse.
Even if you currently haven't typed in anything in the permissions field (and have nodes in there to add) pressing Enter doesn't add those nodes but instead just adds the very first suggestion to the list. Even pressing Shift + Enter doesn't submit/add the nodes to the player or group.

I personally would love it if Shift + Enter would always submit (and if you have typed out a permission that's not already added to the list it gets added to the list and then consequently to the player/group) and pressing enter when no text has been typed (and there's something in the list to add). To make it clear that it will add now the first entry of the suggestions should read "Add nodes"

  • Keyboard shortcuts

I'm missing many of the old keyboard shortcuts:

  • Ctrl + S: Save
  • Ctrl + Z: Undo
  • Ctrl + Y: Redo

Open to suggestions for more.

  • General usability

While I can't give you concrete directions on how to achieve it, it should be possible to use the editor with only or at least mostly the keyboard.
