Neat! If I can make one suggestion: I know this is usually not at all what people should with websites, but consider hijacking basic browser hotkeys to augment the shell. Tab for auto complete instead of select next element would be a good start, and I think in this type of situation its acceptable to hijack.
- ivan888 5y agoAlso consider auto focusing the field when the page loads
- aavshr 5y agothanks for the input, yes definitely planning to do this
- eyelidlessness 5y agoIf you do, please check the various meta keys. Hijacking tab is expected here, but not cmd-/alt-tab etc.
- rbtprograms 5y agonice! this is a fun project so I ma glad you are wanting to go further with it.
- XCSme 5y agoI agree, hijacking is good when it leads to the expected user behaviour. I kept pressing tab to auto-complete the command, but the cursor jumped to the address bar.
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoI kept pressing up to retrieve my last command.
- spurgu 5y agoThere we go, I opened this thread with two things in mind that immediately struck me - tab completion and pressing up for previous command and those two are the top comments!
- skohan 5y agoI am in ok with hijacking tab in general. The fact that tab doesn't act as a tab key in text areas is one of the most annoying things about the web.
- smthngwitty 5y agoAlso CMD+K to clear window
- besnn00 5y agoisn't it Ctrl+L
- oceanghost 5y agoI immediately tripped on the autocomplete issue. Still, a super neat thing.
