Composer keyboard shortcuts

[dunlix]

Hello. Is there a way to make keyboard shortcuts for composer ? Perhaps with custom JS? I don’t know Much about js so I don’t know. I know this is a feature on flarum, but I switched to NodeBB because of the websockets and chat.
For example, ctrl + B = bold text

Thank you in advance for your help.

@pitaj I'll check this out

@pitaj Huh.
Apparently I already had this plugin installed. In the plugin's settings page, however, all of the settings are greyed out including what would let me save anything.

Looking at the Github and Gitlab pages for this plugin, I see that the last activity was 5 years ago. I have the same experience as @dunlix. It appears that this plugin is dead in the water, sadly. Having keyboard shortcuts is very helpful for common tasks.

@frissdiegurke Please advise.

This poor plugin is so incompatible that it won't even uninstall. Beautifully, even the error message when attempting to UNINSTALL is incorrect.

Any updates on this? I know someone who is looking at NodeBB and Discourse, and this could be a deal breaker for them.

@BrotherGlaucon You can do it with custom JS

Ah yes, the shortcuts plugin... fun plugin, it introduced so many shortcuts that any key combination could do anything

It makes sense for ctrl-b and ctrl-i, etc... what other markdown-specific shortcuts would you like to see? Perhaps I could add them to the markdown plugin. For example, ctrl-enter already submits a post in the composer.
