Took a stab at writing some code for this, but: a) I can't seem to find any way of listening for the esc keypress on the post page. Best I was able to do is listen for esc keypresses in the textarea itself, and then I was able to go back from there. So, eg, if you click on the post button and then type Esc, nothing happens. But if you then click into the textarea, then type esc, then it jumps you back to the timeline.
b) worse, once you press Esc to get back to the timeline, all the other keyboard shortcuts stop working -- you can no longer navigate by arrow keys or expand messages with the enter key. I'm going to escalate this to the toolkit level because I think it's dumb that only certain widgets are able to capture the key input events. If I register an "onEscapePressed" handler on the logical widgets, it just silently ignores my attempts. ** Branch linked: lp:~robru/friends-app/esc-key -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166331 Title: "esc" should go back To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friends-app/+bug/1166331/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
