not all ACE keyboard shortcuts are supported

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 11 September 2024, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

One of the use cases for ACE is advanced features like find/replace and keyboard shortcut support for complex features. Not all of the shortcuts demonstrated at https://ace.c9.io/build/kitchen-sink.html seem to work within Drupal. I'm focusing on Ctrl-F rather than demonstrating an exhaustive list, but support is patchy.

Steps to reproduce

  • Edit content on Drupal (v10.2 in my case) configured to use the ACE editor.
  • Press Ctrl-F (or Cmd-F) - observe no find/replace box as one might see in

    Proposed resolution

  • Enable as many shortcuts as possible, and document them if possible.
  • If this isn't possible for some reason (and maybe useful anyway) add a configuration option to invoke ACE in alternative shortcut modes: for example vim mode would reduce reliance on modifiers.
