📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a focusSearchOrNavigate helper function in app/app.vue to consolidate search focus and navigation logic. The existing '/' keyboard shortcut is refactored to use this helper, and a new Ctrl+K shortcut is added to trigger the same behaviour. The keyboard shortcuts modal in app/components/AppFooter.vue is updated to display the new Ctrl+K entry. No public API changes are made.

app/app.vue (1)

73-82: Consider cross-platform support and case-insensitivity.

The current implementation only matches Ctrl+K. On macOS, users often expect Cmd+K (metaKey) for such shortcuts. Additionally, the key check is case-sensitive, which could behave unexpectedly with Caps Lock in edge cases.

This is a nice-to-have improvement and can be deferred if the intent is specifically Ctrl-only.

♻️ Optional enhancement for broader compatibility

 onKeyDown(
-  // Explicitly check Ctrl+K for broader compatibility (especially Firefox)
-  e => e.ctrlKey && e.key === 'k',
+  // Support Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) and Cmd+K (macOS) for cross-platform compatibility
+  e => (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) && e.key.toLowerCase() === 'k',
   e => {
     if (isEditableElement(e.target)) return
     e.preventDefault()
     focusSearchOrNavigate()
   },
   { dedupe: true },
 )

If you adopt metaKey support, you may also want to update the modal in AppFooter.vue to show platform-appropriate hints (e.g., "⌘K" on macOS).

What's the reason for adding an extra keyboard shortcut that replicates existing functionality?

[danielroe]

yes, we already have / to focus search 👍

[whitep4nth3r]

Closing this in the interest of efficiency. Thanks!

[ls-root]

Many documentation sites use ctrl+k as shortcut for search or command palette. Examples:

• https://nuxt.com/
• https://vuejs.org/
• https://vueuse.org/
• https://unocss.dev/
• https://valibot.dev/

The goal here was to alaign with common UX expectations rather than duplicate functionality.

@danielroe thoughts?

[danielroe]

I think we need to merge the command palette pr 🙏
