In v1 of openlp.org, there is the option to enable keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
|
However these hotkeys require you to press 3 keys at once, and as such
|
|
|
|
|
are not very easy to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In v2 we've improved the situation. You can now for example use the left
|
|
|
|
|
and right keys to go the previous/next item in the order of service, and
|
|
|
|
|
Esc to hide the display. We also plan in the future to add shortcuts to
|
|
|
|
|
allow the user to skip straight to a verse or chorus and the ability to
|
|
|
|
|
customize the shortcuts.

However one shortcut we haven't yet implemented is blank screen, and
|
2015-08-06 20:19:50 +00:00
|
|
|
we're trying to figure out what key to use as the default. The obvious
|
|
|
|
|
is "B", but we want to reserve that in the future for "Bridge"...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've looked at other software, and discovered that there doesn't seem to
|
|
|
|
|
be any standard for this. V1 uses Ctrl+Alt+B, SongPro uses Z. OpenSong
|
|
|
|
|
uses K. Mediashout uses F6. Easyworship uses Ctrl+B, Words of Worship
|
|
|
|
|
uses ESC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My assumtion so far is that "T" will blank to theme. I'm wondering
|
|
|
|
|
whether to change hide the screen to be "H" instead of ESC, which would
|
|
|
|
|
affect single screen users the most. Then we could use ESC for blank.
|
|
|
|
|
Another option would be "E" for say empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So the question is, what key would you prefer or what other suggestions
|
|
|
|
|
do you have? We'd prefer to stick to single keys rather than
|
|
|
|
|
combinations and reserve any verse tags.
