---------------------------------
Summary: NiFi keyboard shortcuts
Key: NIFI-5994
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5994
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core UI
Affects Versions: 1.8.0
Reporter: Nimrod Avni
Fix For: 1.9.0
NiFi is a very easy tool to use with a mouse, but I think for a lot of
developers who use NiFI, we have a better control with the keyboard and i think
it would be great for a lot of developers to have keyboard shortcuts to use
when developing over the canvas
* CTRL-Z and ALT-CTRL-Z feature, i.e to reverse actions we did (like moving a
component, creating a component, deleting a component, configuring a component
and starting/stopping a component)
* To have an option to start typing the name of the component we want to hover
and we will hover over the first component that its name matches what we typed
(if i have a GenerateFlowfile processor in my current process group, i could
start typing "Gene" and i will hover over it). this can work with
processors/process groups or basically anything with a name
* Easier traversal through the canvas, have shortcuts to go back to the father
process group, the root process group and so on
* shortcuts to create components (for example CTRL-P to open the add processor
tab and so on)
These are some of the features that will make NiFi even smoother and easier to
use, and i hope they can be implemented
