Live View - Keyboard Controls

[CDx4f3kCAf3Y]

Idea:

If the Live View page is in full screen mode (the full screen mode of the individual streams), then pressing any of the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to should to adjacent video in that direction, according to the grid layout of the Live View page. If there is no adjacent video in that direction, then it should loop over and begin again at the start of that column or row.

Example:

• The grid is set for 3x3.
  • There are 7 streams configured, leaving row 3 column 2 and row 3 column 3 empty.
• The current full screen video is from row 2 column 2.
• Right arrow key is pressed, the full screen video changes to row 2 column 3.
• Down arrow key is pressed. Nothing is in row 3 column 3, so it loops and shows row 1 column 3.
• Right arrow key is pressed. It loops and shows row 1 column 1.
• Up arrow key is pressed. It loops and shows row 3 column 1.
• Up arrow key is pressed. It shows row 2 column 1.
• Right arrow key is pressed. It shows row 2 column 2.

This makes it easy to change live videos without leaving full screen mode.

Testing with commit c8c5c9a.

I see the change made in that commit, but I don't understand how it works. From the Live Page in a 3x3 grid as described above, when I toggle full screen on the center video (row 2 column 2) and press the any of the four arrow keys, nothing happens. I was expecting a different video to start showing instead.

Perhaps I am testing too soon and this is not complete?

Hmm, ill look again later (this evening most likely).

This is working great in b624c98.

I did notice that it is possible temporarily 'lost' in terms of where you are in the grid. I think the follow suggestion would help with that.

Would it be possible to show a small overlay for a few seconds after switching videos?

• In this overlay, it should show a grid layout of all populated cells
  • It can look like what is currently shown in the Layout drop down on the main Live View page.
• It could be sized maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of the screen.
• It would default to the bottom left corner, but temporarily move to another corner if the mouse cursor tries to hover over it
  • This would be easy way to move the overlay if it is covering up something interesting.
  • (or maybe this specific item isn't needed since it will auto disappear after a few seconds) anyways)
• All the cells can be half muted color and the currently shown cell full muted.

I'm noticing something odd.

Reproduction setup:

• Double click or use the toggle fullscreen button on a video to go full screen.
• Use arrows to move to N (any number) unique videos (not repeating any).

If you double click or use the toggle fullscreen button to exit fullscreen... it seems to "close" each fullscreen video in reverse order of viewing ("opening"?) them.

If you then press the escape key, you return to the grid view... almost like it did a "close all" on all the fullscreen videos.
