WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? “massively” improve the “keyboard experience”. the goal should be to not need a mouse to operate the desktop application. Take up UI / UX behavior people are expected from their OS, and the context. HOW COULD IT BE DONE? Tons (sorry :frowning:) of little papercut fixes, and …

Keyboard management is large project and is planned.

aha. not according to your roadmap (see below). there is nothing in there that could be read as a “large keyboard-improvement effort”. or what does that say about the roadmap? also, what about some public tracking of concrete items, e.g. “grid views copy/paste behavior” suggestion? that would be in…

[image] flypenguin: Because, if I look at, for example, “date as an object” – that’s plain and simply useless for anyone who does not already know what is meant. This is one of the things that will be improved. We’ll add an description for every major project, and we’ll also provide links to …

i really don’t know what to say. the only reason this discussion exists is that i did not find that information you claim was there, and at the same time you claim „is planned“ (the roadmap info). so unless you provide links to that mythical planning place I can see implementation progress, let’s ag…

yeah no. let it be :slight_smile:

I would like to get better keyboard shortcuts handling too. I expect Anytype to behave like a text editor and respond to common text editing shortcuts. They are so common that even notion supports them. For instance: ctrl-home / ctrl-end should move cursor to the beginning / end of the current pa…

We plan on updating and improving the roadmap, but not everything is on the roadmap or will be on the roadmap.

Lots of things you mentioned in your post can already be tracked in their separate feature requests. For instance:

Of course we use a separate internal task tracker. Why would that be weird?

Editor (and overall software) quality – some priority here, please?
