Chrome on Windows 7 and Window 10 (and even if you fix that what if I want to use alt tab?)
Is there an alternative shortcut to move through cells?
(I’d personally suggest alt+up/Alt+down or shift+k/l).
Update: Ctrl-alt-up and ctrl-alt-down are also captured on windows 10 for other purposes. I’m beginning to think you did not test on windows.
…guilty, we need to level-up our Windows testing situation. Thanks for reporting these, and we’ll get the Windows keybindings sorted out in the next updates.
@jacobjensen here’s the change we’re considering:
| Before | After Mac | After Windows | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alt-Cmd-Up / Alt-Cmd-Down | Cmd-Alt-Up / Cmd-Alt-Down | Alt-Ctrl-Up / Alt-Ctrl-Down | Move cell up/down |
| Alt-Tab/Alt-Shift-Tab | Alt-Tab/Alt-Shift-Tab | Alt-Shift-Down/Alt-Shift-Up | Focus current/next |
| Cmd-/ | Cmd-/ | Ctrl-/ | Toggle comment |
Can you maybe confirm that those Windows keybindings are free?
Cmd-/ and alt+cmd+up/down work right now on windows 7, even though help shows ‘ctrl’. In case you’re rending help menu dynamically this is what I’m seeing:
Using command key is pretty unusual on windows, but it seems to work so I don’t have a problem. ctrl-/ would work, but alt-ctrl-up/down is used for screen orientation: https://superuser.com/questions/122789/screen-rotation-hot-key-ctrlaltup-not-responding-whats-going-on
alt-shift-up/down seems like it’s free.
Here’s the deployed change:
| Before | After Mac | After Windows | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alt-Tab/Alt-Shift-Tab | Alt-Tab/Alt-Shift-Tab | Alt-Shift-Down/Alt-Shift-Up | Focus current/next |
| Cmd-/ | Cmd-/ | Ctrl-/ | Toggle comment |
And not a change but:
Cmd to Ctrl on Windows, so the Alt-Cmd-Up/Alt-Cmd-Down keybindings are correctly documented on Windows.Hope that helps!
You might already know this but Alt-Cmd-Up (or down) doesn’t appear to work in Windows Firefox. Works fine in Chrome. Thanks again for the great tool.
Clarified a bit in List of keyboard shortcuts? why, seems it’s related to a shortcut for editable text selection.
