Having to install a separate plugin is not really sustainable. We’re planning to add small labels next to the major links so that shows which key is the shortcut so no memorizing will be needed(like vimium does but not dynamically, shortcuts will have the same keys all the time)
I also like and use vimium but with the new UI it’s simply not working. Pressing f and then the key combination for the ‘Compute’ for example does not get you to the page, that’s why we can’t rely on additional browser plugins for this. Thanks, Bobby.

I looked at the GSOC idea. I have feedback on this 1. Need to memorize the shortcut which is not so good 2. only a limited set of shortcuts as of now.. if it grows then more memorization If we use vimium or similar plugin cons need to spend time installing in browsers pros very less memorization more shortcuts no need for source code change if more tabs/panes or whatever is added to ui future. (just press F and you are good to go) On Wed, Jun 9, 2021 at 1:38 PM Boris Stoyanov <boris.stoya...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > Not everyone uses vimium browser plugin, I think it would be great if we > can get this working cross-browser. > > Here’s the original GSOC Idea: > https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4798 > > Bobby. > > From: Rakesh Venkatesh > <www.rakeshv....@gmail.com<http://www.rakeshv....@gmail.com>> > Date: Wednesday, 9 June 2021, 14:29 > To: dev <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> > Subject: Re: Keyboard Shortcuts on Management Server. > I usually use vimium plugin which has keyboard shortcuts for all links in a > webpage which is much more handy > > > > > On Wed, Jun 9, 2021 at 12:38 PM Apurv Gupta <apurv3...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > > > > > I’m trying to implement the keyboard shortcuts and the idea is to use the > > management server ui without a mouse. > > > > From the mentors, here are the suggestion list for shortcuts: > > > > > > > > [i] - infrastructure > > > > [g] - configuration->global settings > > > > [v] - storage->volumes > > > > [c] - compute->instances > > > > [t] - images->templates > > > > [n] - networks > > > > [a] - accounts > > > > [p] - projects > > > > [e] - events > > > > > > > > Please feel free to add more to the list and would appreciate any > comments, > > suggestions or objections. > > Also, I’ve opened a draft PR #5090 ( > > https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/5090). > > > > > > > > Thankyou! > > > > > -- > Thanks and regards > Rakesh venkatesh > -- Thanks and regards Rakesh venkatesh
