Keyboard Shortcuts

for users

Keyboard shortcuts allow the user to do initiate typical actions using the keyboard.

For using keyboard shortcuts the plugin /js/plugins/keyboardShortcuts.js must be activated in password.php.

At the moment the following shortcuts are implemented:

• ? shows the help page for keyboard shortcuts
• / focus the search input
• a shows the add entry dialog
• h go to the previous page of the password table
• l go to the next page of the password table

for developers

Add keyboard shortcuts either directly in the plugin file or add a line similar to the following to your own plugin (which has to be loaded after the keyboardShortcuts plugin):

keyboardShortcuts['98'] = {
    "action":"click", 
    "element":"#pwdlist_next > a", 
    "description": "Got to next page"
}

This adds a keyboard shortcut for b (ascii-code 98) which initiates a click on the specified element (jQuery selector). The description is shown on the keyboard shortcut help.

Possible actions are

• modal show a bootstrap modal
• focus set focus to an element
• click initiate an onclick event
