set shortcuts for console's resize buttons #281

jarolrod · 2021-04-14T17:05:57Z

On master the only way to resize the console font is to manually move your mouse and click the resize buttons. This PR introduces convenient keyboard shortcuts to resize the console font.

The common resize shortcuts for applications are Ctrl+=/Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-/Ctrl+_. This means that the resize QPushButtons need two shortcuts each, but you cannot assign multiple shortcuts to a QPushButton. See: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#shortcut-prop

To get around this, we introduce a new function in guiutil, which connects a supplied QKeySequence shortcut to a QAbstractButton. This function can be reused in other situations where more than one shortcut is needed for a button.

Concept ACK.

jarolrod · 2021-04-14T17:33:25Z

Updated 0caccb5 -> 3282d36

Changes:

updated spacing to adhere to clang-format

hebasto · 2021-04-14T17:40:08Z

The common resize shortcuts for applications are Ctrl+=/Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-/Ctrl+_.

Are they and QKeySequence::ZoomIn, QKeySequence::ZoomOut (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#StandardKey-enum) the same?

jarolrod · 2021-04-14T17:42:06Z

@hebasto See: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#standard-shortcuts. I don't think it includes Ctrl+= or Ctrl+_

src/qt/guiutil.cpp

jarolrod · 2021-04-14T18:32:20Z

Updated from 3282d36 -> ab95506

Changes:

Action can be set on the button directly. Remove the parent parameter from function and docs.

hebasto · 2021-04-14T21:47:53Z

@hebasto See: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#standard-shortcuts. I don't think it includes Ctrl+= or Ctrl+_

Keyboard Layout Issues describe exactly this PR :)

hebasto · 2021-04-18T12:56:56Z

@jarolrod

Do you mind looking into https://github.com/hebasto/gui/commits/pr281-alt?
It seems more general and concise, no?

promag

Any reason to not use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#shortcut-prop? And why we want multiple shortcuts for the same button?

hebasto · 2021-04-19T18:26:53Z

And why we want multiple shortcuts for the same button?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#keyboard-layout-issues

Ctrl+Plus is, actually, Ctrl+Equal_Sign on some keyboard layouts, no?

jarolrod · 2021-04-19T18:27:39Z

@promag you can only assign one shortcut directly to a button. The reason to have multiple shortcuts is to allow for the following shortcuts on the resize buttons:

Smaller = Ctrl+-, Ctrl+_
Bigger = Ctrl+=, Ctrl++
These two shortcuts are common and standard for resizing and having both of them helps get around any differences in keyboard layouts.

@hebasto's approach seems to be a more focused approach as we're unlikely to need 3 shortcuts for a button. Still looking.

hebasto · 2021-04-19T18:29:31Z

... we're unlikely to need 3 shortcuts for a button.

It will work for any number of shortcuts. But one of them could be considered as "main" one.

hebasto · 2021-04-19T18:32:06Z

Any reason to not use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#shortcut-prop?

https://github.com/hebasto/gui/commits/pr281-alt is using it for a "main" shortcut.

Concept ACK

jarolrod · 2021-05-14T19:42:45Z

Updated from ab95506 -> 2d2632a

Main Change: adopt @hebasto's approach as it is more focused

Changes from @hebasto's branch:

Rename shortcut function from AddShortcut to AddButtonShortcut
Add Doxygen comment for AddButtonShortcut function
Use translator comments instead of disambiguation strings

Will add test coverage in a follow-up PR as some refactors to the current apptests is required.

ACK 2d2632a

src/qt/rpcconsole.cpp

    ui->fontBiggerButton->setIcon(platformStyle->SingleColorIcon(":/icons/fontbigger"));
+    //: Main shortcut to increase the RPC console font size.
+    ui->fontBiggerButton->setShortcut(tr("Ctrl++"));
+    //: Secondary shortcut to increase the RPC console font size.


Maybe add a note that a secondary shortcut differs from a main one only by presence/absence of the <Shift> key in the key sequence?

I think this is ok as is. If we include that i'd be worried if someone translates into Ctrl+Shift+_.

updated from 2d2632a -> 2a45134

Adresses @hebasto's comment:

Added a note to make it clear that the reason the AddButtonShort function exists is to get around the one shortcut at a time limitation of the button's shortcut property
While here, adjust the formatting of my added Doxygen comment to ascribe to the formatting specified in the dev notes

src/qt/rpcconsole.cpp

+                    .arg("<b>" + ui->clearButton->shortcut().toString(QKeySequence::NativeText) + "</b>") +
+                "<br>" +
+                tr("Use %1 and %2 to increase or decrease the font size.")
+                    .arg("<b>" + ui->fontBiggerButton->shortcut().toString(QKeySequence::NativeText) + "</b>")


nit: .arg(foo, bar) overload could be used instead of .arg(foo).arg(bar)

But isn't the current code more readable?

Yes, maybe, though it could be something like

.arg( "<b>" + ui->fontBiggerButton->shortcut().toString(QKeySequence::NativeText) + "</b>", "<b>" + ui->fontSmallerButton->shortcut().toString(QKeySequence::NativeText) + "</b>" ) +

Not that bad.

I think that should be debated here: #331

@jarolrod

Done :)

Yes that ends debate.
