Keyboard shortcuts - V14, 15 etc.

[schlagerdk]

I feel I have search everywhere, but can't find any updates on this issue.

When V14 was released, keyboard shortcuts etc. when working in backend via browser on templates etc. was not implemented because it was under investigation or implementation.

We now have V15.4.0 and still no keyboard shortcuts.

Is this still under investigation/implementation or has it been forgotten, lost or just dropped?

Can we expect that it will be back in V16, V17 (LTS)?

I have a lot of V13 sites I would like to upgrade to V15, but is waiting for keyboard shortcuts because it's a bit of a hassel without them, when using a browser to code in backend.

Thanks

We still plan to reintroduce keyboard shortcuts in an upcoming version.

When you say

when using a browser to code in backend

Can you clarify what you mean by this? The new Backoffice uses the Monaco Editor to edit code files in the backend, and this editor has a lot of built-in keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks

I mean, I open a browser (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc.) and access domain.xx/umbraco

But it does not have a shortcut for saving a template, saving a view etc. - Or am I missing something?

[CTRL/CMD]+[S] to save

Thanks for your fast replies.

I't going to be a long jump from 13.X to 17 :-/

Last question: What's the reason for the editor change? - And why change to a new before every feature is resolved.

[iOvergaard]

Pardon, but can you be a bit more specific? What does "editor" refer to?

Here is a rundown of the new backoffice as a whole: https://umbraco.com/blog/future-proofing-the-backoffice-implementation/

The new Backoffice is based on this RFC: https://github.com/umbraco/rfcs/blob/main/cms/0021-future-proofing-the-umbraco-backoffice.md

The "Monaco Editor to edit code files in the backend" we are talking about :)

[iOvergaard]

Monaco Editor is essentially what powers Visual Studio Code. It supports having language servers. This is interesting to use now and in the future, where we can support a more Umbraco-specific IntelliSense. It also supports C# out of the box in terms of syntax highlighting.

Feature-wise, it supports all of the same things as Ace Editor did, which we used in V13 and before. Keyboard shortcuts in terms of hitting the "Save" button are a feature of the backoffice UI and not the code editor. When we implement keyboard shortcuts, they will work on all workspaces - and not just the code editor.
