Summary | 0004116: Use accesskey="[char]" feature of HTML for buttons, to jump to boxes | ||||
Description | Currently, since the "Update Information" button is way at the bottom of the page, when there are many bug notes, it can be tedious to scroll to the bottom. If some of the common functions had accelerator keys assigned, it would be very handy. The keys don't have to be directly mapped to a letter in the word. They'd be able to remain the same across languages, (have a legend at the bottom of the page for the keys that apply) Handy buttons (don't really care what keystrokes they are, just examples): So the process could be that you select an issue, come in to view a bug, Press Alt+U to update, it refreshes the page in update mode, Alt+A to get to the Assign To box, arrow to get the one you want, Alt+Z to jump over to change the status, arrow down, then Alt+S to save the changes and go back to the list... All without having to touch the mouse. | ||||

Since the ACCESSKEY attribute works on links too, then having accelerator keys to jump between the My View, View Issues, Change Log etc would also be very handy. http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/accesskey.html edited on: 07-16-04 15:30 |

Any chance that this will be included in one of the next releases? |
