Is it possible to add simple keyboard navigation in the desktop app.
This could be very similar to for example the keepass desktop applications.
Navigation:
Right arrow to go from the type/folder-menu to the list, to a specific card.
Left arrow to go back from a specific card to the list to the menu.
Up and down arrow to go up and down in the list, highlighting an item and showing the related card in the right(card) pane. (The up and down arrow would also of course work in the menu and in the card pane.)
Actions:
In the list, CTRL + C would copy the password of the highlighted/selected list item.
in the list, CTRL + B would copy the username of the highlighted/selected list item.
on a card CTRL + C would copy the selected line/row on the card. This can be anything, from password to a website uri.
CTRL + F anywhere, would focus the search box. (This is already the case)
When the focus is on the list of passwords that I have registered in my vault, it would be beneficial if the arrow keys (up and down) could be used to navigate through the list. It would also be greatly helpful if, after finishing writing something in the global search, the down arrow key would focus on this list.
Keyboard navigation is also discussed in the following Feature Request (which is amalgamation of various loosely related requests, some of which have been implemented ā to avoid confusion, I recommend voting in Feature Request threads that are more specific, like the present one):
Of interest to those supporting this thread is that community MVP @Quexten has been working on a pull request to implement keyboard navigation, but the PR is currently in draft form, and not yet ready to be merged:
Greetings All,
When I search my passwords, many results come up, but the one I want is generally at the top.
Itād be great if I could down arrow to it from the search window!!
This is a very common keyboard move in most programs.
The down arrow does not work as expected in BitWarden, so I have to then mouse over and make my selection.
Thank you for your consideration!
For the maintanance of a vault (editing items, categorizing under folders) standard keyboard functions would be desirable, which is
F2 ā¦ edit item
Strg S ā¦ save item
With āstandardā I mean keys that most software support since the invention of the PC and which users expect to find in every software, like the steering wheel, the gas pedal, and the direction indicator of a car.
@grb, please move my post and vote to ā2. Keyboard Navigation in Deskto Applicationā
Actually I found these threads before I posted my feature request and I decided for a new topic, because, the proposals for keys in the other topics are quite specific to the Appās functionality, while my request is about general keys which work the same way in all windows software, and therefore can be seen as a quasi standard, as I tried to explain. You can see the standard keys as software āhygiene factorsā without these a piece of software feels clunky and awkward to use, while more content specific keys increase functionality or keybord support for a functionality. It makes a difference in the user interface design philosophy and therefore it would deserve a topic of itās own. But you are absolutely right saying that it is hopefully beneficial to concentrate the load of votes to few topics than to split the votes between topics. Please also move this comment together with my feature request. Thank you.
