ProcessWire2.+ Admin Hot Keys 0.0.7

This modules adds hot keys functionality to PW backend. The keys can be configured in the module settings in the admin.

I created a repo here for download and if anyone interested in picking it up.

https://github.com/s...ic/AdminHotKeys

Currently it supports

• Save : ctrl+s
• Add New : ctrl+n
• View Page : ctrl+v
• Open Pages search : alt+q (search field can be configured)
• Open Templates search : ctrl+shift+t
• Open Fields search : ctrl+shift+f
• Goto Pages : ctrl+shift+p
• Goto Setup : ctrl+shift+s
• Goto Modules : ctrl+shift+m
• Goto Access : ctrl+shift+a

Note: If you're inside a text input it will ignore the hot keys, as to avoid problems with already defined key.

Tip: If you open up templates or fields autocomplete search `ctrl+shift+f|t` press `shift+tab` to focus on the link in the label previous to the search input box. Now hit enter to get right to the template or field screen. (If using FF make sure to enable tab focus for all elements in MacOSX: http://support.mozil...enus or buttons)

Tnx Soma ! This is great...

[Soma]

Your welcome. Thanks.

Little update after playing around a little.

• changed to use save hot key for all edit screens to save not only page.
• added "Add new" hot key support for Template, Fields, Users, anything that has a "Add new" button.

Have fun.

Hi Philipp,

Chrome on OS X likes it but I get some strange things happening in Firefox (13). I can't collapse any fields or use the PageListSelect.

Marty

Thanks Marty, just commited an update that should fix it for FF.

[Soma]

Added several new actions.

Added shortcuts to admin main pages.

The most fun is to open a autcomplete search to find and edit templates or fields. Now you can wherever you are press "ctrl+shift+t" or "ctrl+shift+f" and get something like this:



Once open you can type and select, hit enter and directly go to edit screen.
Enter a char and hit backspace to show all.

Have fun.

Looks interesting! Can't wait to check it

[tsd]

Looks promissing, cool little helper. I'll give it a try after work

[Martijn Geerts]

Work fantastic ... ctrl+shift+v --> view page ?

[interrobang]

Wow, this is a nice little helper. Great work!

One suggestion. Is it possible to go to the templates / field main page if I just press enter in the empty modal? This way we dont't need a additonal shortcut for these pages.

[Soma]

Thanks all!

Little update for 0.0.6

- added View Page to the list "ctrl+v".

- Also, I was thinking about adding a shortcut to the Template and Field pages.

I figured simplest is to add a link in the label in front of the searchfield. If you open the dialog, you can now simply press "shift+tab" to focus on that link and hit enter.

Edit: lol, just figured that "shift+tab" doesn't seem to work in FF. Back to the drawingboard ¨

Edit2: Ok this seem related to OS setting in MacOSX. If in FF make sure this in enabled http://support.mozil...enus or buttons

I think this"little module" adds a way quicker workflow to ProcessWire, maybe it's a good thing to make it core module.

Soma - CTRL+V is paste on a windows PC so not sure whether there are any issues there? Just a thought.

Yeah I know, you can change it in the settings. I also thought the same but couldn't decide what would be best.

[Pete]

I don't know whether you could work around it by checking if an input field or textures is selected before deciding on the action? If a field is selected it would make sense to leave it as paste, else view page in a new window maybe.

[Soma]

Thanks Pete. But that's not really a solution I like

[Soma]

Ok lol funny, it seems the hotkey jquery plugin already is ignoring commands if inside text inputs! So this already is solved this way. I thought it would be unnecessary to implement and I'm not sure it really is the best solution, but will help avoid problems in first place (as it also stated in Resigs plugin) . It would be nice to not needing to leave input focus to be able to save or do other actions while typing. But guess not really an issue.

[interrobang]

Soma, you have swapped the labels of "Goto Setup" and "Goto Pages" in AdminHotkeys.module

Your module is now part of my default processwire setup. Really useful..

[Soma]

Thanks, nice catch. It's corrected in the latest commit.

Hello, just commited a new update.

• Added new action to search for Pages using PW internal ajax search "alt+q". You can even select template to filter.
• Added setting to change the fields used in page search. Default "title body". Search uses %= (SQL like)
• Changed dialogs to position fixed so they appear right where you are and page doesn't jump
• Added check so it doesn't get initialized on login screen
