Improving keyboard friendliness about opensnitch HOT 9 CLOSED

from opensnitch.

Well I do think that falls into preference I don't like to complicate stuff so I think that 1,2,3 would be easier then searching o, u and f in the keyboard. I use i3wm so I have some of the keys that have bindings so it could be messy.

Well, perhaps you're right. I was thinking of actually having the numbers "1,2,3" in each button (in one of the corners, or before/after the word. anywhere really), as to be easy to see that "1" is for "Once", "2" for "Until quit", etc.. For the Block and Deny, we could have the first letter of the word bold.

This is, however, highly subjective so a point could be made to have it any other way.

Why not emulate the way LittleSnitch uses shortcuts?

Control to swap between "Forever" and "Until Quit" (and additional options)
Shift changes the "Until Quit" option to "Once"
Option to swap between Deny & Allow
"A" selects the radio button for "Any Connection"
"S" toggles between the three remaining buttons.
"D" opens additional information listed below:

I'd say we hold off on these polishing issues until #20 is resolved and the IPC protocol and the general behaviour is nailed down.
Then we can start working on "nice to haves".

Of course anyone who wants to do the work is welcome to, but personally I'd say its not on the list of priorities right now :)

@granda I don't really like this approach.. It's too qwerty centric.

from opensnitch.

I can create different buttons for once untilquit and forever but other part is not yet built into functionality.
Also adding resolving of fqdn in prompt is easy. I agree with @adisbladis that we should work first on separation of ui and server side and then make a polished gui.

from opensnitch.

The minimum would be to enable the UI to be navigable by keyboard only - tabbing in a logical order. This would help everyone and mean its not qwerty centric.

Why was this closed as completed @evilsocket? It doesn't seem like anything from the comments in this thread, including the very first one, have been solved. Can you please reopen?

With that said, I'd also love to have better keyboard navigation in the popups.
