Enhancement request

Bind ⌘R to Send button instead of Reload.

Problem it solves

TL;DR

Pressing ⌘R refreshes the contents of the Httpie desktop window—instead of resending the request.

Details

This sequence is muscle memory for web developers:

1. Update code in editor
2. Save via ⌘S (cmd + s]
3. Switch to browser via ⌘Tab [cmd + tab]
4. Refresh page (aka: resend request) via ⌘R (cmd + r]
5. Inspect changes

Rinse & repeat.

Now replace the browser with Httpie desktop.

Same muscle memory, different outcome. Now, when pressing ⌘R in step 4, the whole contents of the Httpie app window updates instead of just resending the request as is intended.

Currently we're forced to reposition the mouse over the Send button and click each time to resend the current request.

I mean… how are we even supposed to live?! 🤣

Bump. This issue is also affecting me and another. You naturally expect ⌘R to resend/refresh the request but instead the entire window reloads.

@ctessmer I've got an interim solution for you and perhaps others with this issue... muscle memory means it became a repeated issue for me and I was about to ditch Httpie...

Toggle developer tools (View menu at top)

In the console, enter the following —

window.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
  if ( ["s", "r"].includes(e.key) && e.metaKey ) {
    e.preventDefault();
    document.querySelector('[data-testid="url-bar-submit"]').click()
  }
})

This will intercept and Cmd+S or Cmd+R and click the send button, so should be compatible with updates etc.
