Keyboard Shortcuts Sidebar Block for Solid

Pressing G arms the chord for one and a half seconds and says so in the status line; the next letter picks the view. Any other key cancels it with a short message, Escape cancels it too, and the timer clears if you wait. The letters are I, T, U, A and D, the first letters of the five views.

Only while focus is inside the window. A capture listener on the window's own element hears them, so a button cannot swallow them and nothing outside the window is affected. They are skipped when focus is in a text field or an editor, so typing a g never jumps. The provider's own sidebar shortcut is off.

The caps read ⌘ on Apple devices and Ctrl elsewhere, swapped in after the page loads. Some browsers reserve a few key combinations for themselves and never pass them to a page; if yours keeps Ctrl with a digit for switching tabs, the G chords still work, and so do the links.

A non-modal popover listing the seven shortcuts as a description list, opened by the Shortcuts button or by pressing ? with focus in the window. Escape closes it and returns focus to the button. The list is plain text, so a screen reader reads it as it reads any list.

Everything. The views, projects and tasks are typed in the file, and the keys only change which list shows. In your app, make each key call your router. The rows are links to # whose handler shows the page instead of navigating.

Phones have no hardware keys to speak of, so the chip is hidden and the sidebar is a sheet opened by the menu button, as usual. The Shortcuts button stays, named for screen readers, and the status line still says which view is open.
