Is there a way to disable markdown shortcuts in the text box and enable emacs shortcuts like Crtl-a, Ctrl-k like it works in a terminal?

I’ve added some shortcuts, so I think you should be able to change them as well. As I recall the function to call to add a shortcut was documented fairly well in the source.

sorry I’m not familiar with Ruby, can you point me to the code? Also, just so we are on same page - we are using a CDCK hosted version and I’m looking for a setting that a user can toggle for themselves.

Ah, I see. Sorry for my confusion. :slight_smile: I think a lot of the shortcuts work as you’d expect (like select-all, bold, copy, and paste etc), though the hyperlink one does open the modal.

[image] Natalie T: we don’t yet have one for removing the shortcut. Ah. There’s the rub. I thought there might be a different api in the composer than in other contexts. I’ve just adjusted to being multilingual, using emacs, vscode, and vim in various circumstances and with different goals.

Hmmm.. I think I pulled a “didn’t understand the topic” here as well. The request here is specific to the composer. :facepalm: @pfaffman you are right. Composer specific shortcuts are not handled by ItsATrap, but here instead: app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/components/d-editor.js …

I said emacs, but I really mean readline: readline(3) - Linux manual page these shortcuts(good chunk, if not all atleast moving the cursor) universally works across lot of text boxes. [image] Natalie T: can I suggest to reach out to our @team if you’d like to explore this feature for your comm…

I’m afraid there isn’t a way to disable markdown, though keyboard shortcuts should be working. Are there any that you’re having issues with?
