To work with the tasklist using the keyboard in an efficient way, there should be shortcuts to perform certain actions / jump to certain points in the tasklist
AT:
Have keyboard shortcuts for:
- claim task
- focus first filter
- focus first task in list
- focus first input field in embedded form
- open start process dialog
- there should be documentation about the shortcuts and how to use them
- Ideally, there should also be a listing of keyboard shortcuts available on the tasklist itself
This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app
[CAM-5546] Add keyboard shortcuts for tasklist
I had a hard time finding key combinations which were not used by the browser. If you have suggestions for better defaults, I am more than happy to change it. Regardless of the defaults, the user can always change the keys in the config file.
The config, good point.
For the Mac/PC thing, I believe that we should either implement a test (determining which OS is used) in order to have "command" instead of "control" for Mac users..
But we could have a wee talk about that.
Alternatively, we could always register both combinations Ctrl + ... and Command + ... Only one of them is used depending on the OS, but we wouldn't need to implement the test.
Ctrl + Shift + L doesn't work for IE11 as it is already an existing shortcut for IE11 [1]:
Search using copied text - Ctrl+Shift+L
Alternative that is not used by IE11, Chrome or FF: Ctrl + Alt + L

sebastian.stamm the code looks good but shortcuts should avoid "alt" key usage (as Nico mentionned).
Although Mac users have a "ctrl" key on their keyboards, they generally will expect to press "command" instead.
On a side note, I am not sure about the position of the help link (but on the other hand.. I cannot think about something better for now).
