Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Can we please have a key combination for the Edit button, as I think it's something people will be wanting to do quite frequently.

- adds a hotkey of "e" (or ctrl+e, or cmd+e) to enter edit mode
- escape will cancel edit mode

If Escape cancels edit mode, does it reset all the fields to their original values? If it just hides them, then someone might be in for a surprise if they edit, change some fields, decide not to do that, press Escape, then "just add a comment" and their old changes get submitted...

This seems like an inherent problem with the cancellability of Edit mode.

Although I tend to hate hotkeys like this, as they make my usage of vimperator more difficult. I'm niche enough to not warrant a userpref though.

i had to change it to just ctrl+e, because it interfered with normal typing.
