[Feature Request] Navigational shortcuts

[mlebrun]

I may have missed this somewhere, but it would be nice if there were a button or keyboard shortcut to go back to "now" or whatever the current date/time is.

It would also be nice if you could command + click or ctrl + click to go to beginning or end of an event or time range so one could more easily jump around.

Then after jumping around, easily go back to "now".

[mlebrun]

Also, possibly using the scroll wheel to shrink/expand the time range the window represents

There's a button, keyboard shortcut is a good idea.

Can you explain more about the cmd + click idea? Cmd + click on an event takes you to the beginning of that event?

Right now I have pinching on the trackpad for zooming in/out. What browser/OS are you using?

In addition to that button, I added another button where you can jump to a date or date range, expressed in markwhen syntax:

Oh, wow, I thought I had tested that the "now" line didn't make me jump back but maybe I was wrong but works as I would expect it to now. Using Firefox (106.0.2) on OSX (Monterey 12.5.1). But I plug in to monitor, shut the laptop and use keyboard/mouse.

Re: cmd+click - I meant clicking on the Event in the Editor/markdown text to jump to that Event in the Timeline, right now it doesn't do anything for me.

I don't see the Jump to Date option yet (maybe it hasn't been released yet) but that will be nice, too!

[kochrt]

Ah ok. Yeah if you hover on the event in the editor there should be a little popup, the third button will scroll to that event in the timeline. There's no cmd + clicking yet.

And the jump to date dialog should be there now!

[mlebrun]

i see the Jump To now! and yes, I see the hover states now. Really great stuff! So then now I think it would just be some quick way to zoom in and out with mouse when the user doesn't have a track pad. But with the click to now and hover states it already is feeling a lot better. Loving Markwhen more and more!!!!

I added zoom in/out buttons next to the range adjuster, that should do the trick for you.

I also think (at least on mac) that holding down ctrl while scrolling with the mouse scroll wheel zooms in and out, seems to work for me on firefox
