Jump to line keyboard shortcut #7704

guarin · 2019-12-27T12:21:17Z

Description

The keyboard shortcut for the "jump to line" command overwrites one of the keys I use but I cannot find the location where to disable to command/shortcut. I am talking about the command that opens the following window:

It is not listed in Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Default Settings and I did not add/overwrite it in the User Settings.

Reproduce

On my keyboard: Alt G

Overwriting the Setting does not solve the problem. Does anybody know a workaround?

jasongrout · 2022-01-27T07:11:34Z

This comes from the CodeMirror jump-to-line extension we load: https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/blob/b9e6190b3edf16fe959055c45807e06f833f9d1f/addon/search/jump-to-line.js#L52

I don't have a keyboard where Alt G prints a key, but a workaround might be to define a keyboard shortcut in Settings>Advanced Settings>Keyboard Shortcuts that explicitly prints @ into the editor when you press Alt G:

{
  shortcuts: [
    {
      command: 'apputils:run-first-enabled',
      selector: 'body',
      keys: [
        'Alt G',
      ],
      args: {
        commands: [
          'console:replace-selection',
          'fileeditor:replace-selection',
          'notebook:replace-selection',
        ],
        args: {
          text: '@',
        },
      },
    },
  ],
}

fabianegli · 2022-01-27T08:24:52Z

@jasongrout Thank you, that works. I wonder if this could be a checkbox somewhere in the settings for users on macOS?

jasongrout · 2022-01-27T08:38:10Z

I think it is not about macOS, but about keyboard layouts in general. One problem here is that some editor keyboard shortcuts do not use the jlab keyboard shortcut system (like this Alt G). Instead, I think we should reimplement these keyboard shortcuts using the jlab keyboard shortcut system if possible. That would make it easy to customize the shortcut.

JLTastet · 2022-01-27T09:34:57Z

I don't have a keyboard where Alt G prints a key, but a workaround might be to define a keyboard shortcut in Settings>Advanced Settings>Keyboard Shortcuts that explicitly prints @ into the editor when you press Alt G:

Note that this workaround will most likely not work if Alt/AltGr + G is a dead key, which is for instance the case for the ergonomic bepo layout, where it is used to switch to the greek layer (which is surprisingly useful in Unicode-friendly languages like Julia, since it is faster than typing "\alpha" then TAB).

Right, we were trying to solve the problem of Alt+G being the combination to type @.

Or are you saying that in JupyterLab, instead of switching to the greek layer, Alt/AltGr + G is triggering the go to line functionality in CodeMirror?

JLTastet · 2022-01-27T17:53:03Z

Or are you saying that in JupyterLab, instead of switching to the greek layer, Alt/AltGr + G is triggering the go to line functionality in CodeMirror?

Yes, this is what I meant: with my keyboard layout, the "go to line" shortcut from CodeMirror is conflicting with a dead key and prevents access to an entire layer. In principle, I could use your workaround to explicitly redefine all the AltGr/Opt + g + [a-zA-Z], but that would be cumbersome.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear.

This issue has been mentioned on Jupyter Community Forum. There might be relevant details there:

stepelu · 2022-09-13T23:47:21Z

Hi, has there been any progress on this issue?
I can confirm that it is a pain point, for example I am using this math keyboard
https://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/release/lattice-kbd/
where all the greeks are mapped via the alt-g dead key...

JLTastet · 2022-11-15T18:42:18Z

In Jupyter Lab 3.4.5 and 3.5.0 I still encounter this issue, but only with Firefox (106.0.5). I have no problem with Brave (1.45.123) or Safari (16.1). I am on macOS 12.6.1 (ARM).

burnpanck · 2023-11-05T11:33:04Z

Still major pain point. For almost 4 years now! Contributes to that fact that the Jupyter Notebook 7 user experience feels extremely frustrating even months after switching from JN 6.

rofr · 2024-02-11T23:06:45Z

Unlike standard English keyboards, which prioritize letters and commonly used symbols, keyboards designed for other languages may allocate space differently to accommodate characters specific to that language. As a result, certain characters, particularly those used less frequently in the primary language, are accessed through modifier keys like "Alt Gr" on Windows or "Option" on Mac. This design allows users to type in their native language while still having the ability to input special characters when necessary without cluttering the keyboard layout.

Using the "Alt" or "Option" key, alone or with "Shift" together with a number for short cuts is going to cause problems for many users and should probably be avoided.

Here is what my keyboard looks like, notice how some key characters used for programming are missing:

And here are the key combinations for some of those missing characters:

Alt 2 -> @
Alt 3 -> £
Alt 4 -> $
Alt 7 -> |
Alt 8 -> [
Alt 9 -> ]
Alt Shift 7 -> \
Alt Shift 8 -> {
Alt Shift 9 -> }

To able to use the editor in jupyterlab at all I had to figure out what was going on and then disable the conflicting keyboard shorts which took me maybe 30 minutes.

krassowski · 2024-02-12T11:09:30Z

@rofr if you are using JupyterLab 4.1.0 I believe you might be running into #15744.

rofr · 2024-02-12T11:15:54Z

@rofr if you are using JupyterLab 4.1.0 I believe you might be running into #15744.

Yes, confirmed. There are multiple related issues with the same underlying cause. And all fixed by #15761

burnpanck · 2024-02-12T15:19:38Z

@krassowski @rofr this looks like a separate issue to me. This issue is about Alt-G specifically, which is not any of the Alt - number keys, and according to the title thus is not fixed by #15761.

krassowski · 2024-02-12T15:21:17Z

@burnpanck yes, this issue (#7704) is not fixed by #15761, but #15744 (mostly) is.

krassowski · 2024-02-12T15:23:40Z

Actually #15790 + replacing Alt + G from CM6 binding to a lumino command would also solve this issue.

burnpanck · 2024-02-12T15:29:16Z

I don't know the codebase at all ("CM6 binding" and "lumino command" mean absolutely nothing to me), but if #15790 is able to fix the alt-g issue, that would be great. Just wanted to point out that the alt-g issue does not only appear in the JupyterLab frontend, but also in the "classic notebook" (which is still my favourite interface, despite some severe user-experience step-backs since the change to the JupyterLab backend with version 7). Given that the alt-g key binding seems to live outside of the "normal" JupyterLab shortcuts within the Jupyter notebook, this may or may not be related with that "CM6 binding".
