GSoC Idea - Custom keyboard shortcuts

As requested in another thread, here are some keyboard shortcuts that I am used to from other related apps (web browsers, Evernote, and Wikidpad):

  • Alt-(left arrow/right arrow) — back/forward
  • ctrl-alt-L — copy internal link to current note
  • ctrl-enter — follow link that’s under the cursor in the edit view (including internal links, which would be the main time I’d use this) - should be same behaviour I think as if I’d left-clicked on the link in the preview
  • ctrl-(up arrow) - show list of notes that link to this note

And here’s one I’d particularly like, given how I work:

  • ?? — add an internal link at cursor position (pops up dialog like “Goto Anything” so you can choose destination, but also gives you an option to type the name of a new note, which it will create and link) (maybe - if some text is selected, replace it with a link to a new note with that text as its title)
