Increasing Access

The addition of keyboard shortcuts for various editor functions would enhance accessibility to the p5.js Web Editor by providing a more streamlined and efficient user interface. Users would be able to perform essential tasks such as creating new files or opening sketches more quickly, ultimately improving the overall accessibility and usability of the editor.

Feature enhancement details

Currently, there are existing shortcuts facilitating user actions such as saving. Implementing additional keyboard shortcuts for various functions, such as creating a new file or opening a new sketch, would significantly improve the overall user experience.

I found this issue linked to this, however it mentions addition of shortcut only for adding an new file.

I would like to discuss about various shortcuts that we can introduce. @raclim, @lindapaiste And if possible would like to work on it.

And while we are at it we can also look at the #2465, which talks about using 'Ctrl' instead of '^' and 'Shift' instead of '⇧'.

Some of the features that require shortcuts :-

  1. Opening new file
  2. Add file
  3. Add folder
  4. Opening my sketches
