XF 2 STRG+B = bold; i need STRG+{char} for icode

[Robert9]

Today, I realized how much it annoys me to set parts of a text in iCode. You can't even click on the template name and then the button without selecting the space behind the word as well.

I would like to have:

a) A key shortcut (CTRL + {something available and near the left CTRL key})
b) Avoidance of the space being included in the bbCode.

Although b) might not be possible, at least a) should be achievable similarly to b, i, s, right?

XF 2.0 Thread 'Keyboard shortcuts'

Jan 2, 2018

I've recently upgrade to xenforo 2 a couple of our mods are asking where the keyboard shortcuts have gone. They used Ctrl-I italicises,. Ctrl-U underline and Ctrl-B bold plus others.

I find the following but can't work out how to assign a new shortcut attribute ?

Kier said:
Keyboard Shortcut System

New for XF2DP10 is a generic keyboard shortcut system, activated by assigning an attribute to any clickable or focusable element in a template.

Once a shortcut is defined, hitting the key or key combination specified will activate the targeted element.

We have already set up some...

Markdown support

Many developers will certainly be familiar with Markdown, and I'm sure many of you have heard of it. Ultimately it is a simple and easy-to-type formatting language that allows you to more easily format plain text into HTML. The syntax in places is certainly much simpler than BB code but for numerous reasons we clearly can't move away from BB code entirely.

Any content that has ever been written in XenForo is already in BB code. BB code is also much more extensible in terms of adding additional tags, especially for custom BB codes. Adding Markdown on its own...

Still too complicated! Who wants to press SHIFT and a char far away from anything?

 

[Robert9]

Lalala lalala hahaha hahaha?

There must be another character! Who has time for shift plus `
while you always need another key to finish that "´".

Like this?

<script>
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (event) {
    if (event.ctrlKey && event.key === 'q') { // STRG + Q als Beispiel
        event.preventDefault();
        var textarea = document.querySelector('textarea'); // Den Textarea-Editor finden
        if (textarea) {
            var start = textarea.selectionStart;
            var end = textarea.selectionEnd;
            var selectedText = textarea.value.substring(start, end);

            // Verhindert, dass ein Leerzeichen nach dem BBCode eingefügt wird
            var before = textarea.value.substring(0, start);
            var after = textarea.value.substring(end, textarea.value.length);
            textarea.value = before + '[icode]' + selectedText.trim() + '[/icode]' + after;

            // Setzt den Cursor an das Ende des eingefügten BBCode
            textarea.selectionStart = textarea.selectionEnd = start + 7 + selectedText.trim().length; // 7 für '[icode]'
        }
    }
});
</script>
