ALT+S shortcut in frontpage

[Glaanieboy]

On the forums, you can use the ALT+S shortcut to submit a message, can this be implemented in the frontpage as well? I am quite used to this shortcut. Thanks

 

[Glaanieboy]

*cough* or *bump*? In other words, well?

Quicker to hit 'Post Quick Reply' with pointer!

 

[Glaanieboy]

No, because you have to move your arm from the keyboard to your mouse, move it over to the button and click it. I am used to ALT+S, so it's annoying when it's not working

 

[Lee]

I don't need to move my arm from the keyboard, I type with my right fingers and click with my left index finger.

Just don't understand why you have to hit ALT+S!

 

[Glaanieboy]

Because the little voices in my head tell me to I type with both sets of fingers, so when I am done typing I have to move my right arm 5 inches to the mouse, grab it, move it into position and move my indexfinger down to click.

 

[Lee]

Dam, you hear those voices also? Me I ignore them and tell em to buzz off

 

[Glaanieboy]

It's not only the voices in my head, it's also my invisible friends that tell me what to do

 

[Electronic Punk]

Erm, if you tell me how

accesskey=

<a href="whatever" accesskey="s">
<input type="submit" accesskey="s">

 

[Glaanieboy]

Or in this case (Ekko theme):
<input type="image" src="themes/ekko/submit.gif" accesskey="s">

 

[Glaanieboy]

Cool, I just found out while making a test form to test this out that if you click on an image loaded with <input type="image">, you get the X and Y coords of where you clicked. This is what I always wanted, cool

 

[Electronic Punk]

Done, but I am sure you mean't

<input type="image" src="themes/ekko/submit.gif" accesskey="s" />



Let me know how it works out.

 

[SPeedY_B]

Doesn't work, there's already an accesskey on the "Standard mode" option. If that was changed to a different letter, it should work ok.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Standard Mode?

 

[Electronic Punk]

I think I will remove that option from the comments box, its prob. not used anyway.

 

[SPeedY_B]

Yeah, when posting a comment there's an option for standard or enhanced.

Basically when clicking bold, link, italic etc, one gives the input box, the other dumps an open tag into the text area.

 

[Glaanieboy]

I see you added it already ("s" accesskey on the submit button). Thanks for that

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, I need to remove it from somewhere else, so this "case" is still open!!

 

[Glaanieboy]

Ah. Well, it works for me, so I will not complain.
