Hotkeys are a usability problem #25
Comments
I am very much on board with this. What we have now is mostly just a placeholder. My initial thoughts are to go with a vim-like modal approach. You press a hot-key to go into "control" mode, you get a visual indication that you're in that mode (eg. the borders become dashes) and you have a brief powerline-like help that tells you what you can do in this mode. (EDIT: such as resize panes, change their order, hide them, lock a certain group of panes together so that they are treated as one pane when resizing, move things to different tabs, etc.) What do you think? |
I'll need to see a screenshot of the concept, but generally, it sounds a lot better, useability wise. |
I've started thinking about this, along with adding a split between command and normal mode. @thedrow, I like the idea of also having an "easy" command mode, where you start typing and get some simple auto-complete of available commands |
Hey @thedrow - while we're still working out the kinks on this, we've made a lot of progress in this area recently. If you'd like to check out the latest version from main and let us know what you think that would be great :) There's now a status bar which lets you know the keybindings available to you in real time. |
I'll check it out. |
The reason I never use tmux is because I can never remember the hotkeys.
It'd be useful to have a command which reminds you what to do.
In addition, it'd be useful to have commands which you can type to perform an action.
