[Suggestion]: Keyboard navigation for Run and Clear about devrel HOT 10 OPEN

It's a bit difficult to find bindings that are relatively obvious and free.
I suggest Ctrl+Enter for "Run" and Ctrl+Backspace for "Clear", ⌘+Enter & ⌘+Backspace on Mac.

Ctrl+Enter for "Run" is great but Ctrl+Backspace is already taken for "delete word before cursor" (in most text editors and browsers). You could use Ctrl+Shift+Backspace for that.

Not a big fan of a 3 keys combo. What about Ctrl+Esc instead?

from devrel.

Ctrl+Esc is at least used by Windows for bringing up the start menu.

+1 to command+return on Mac for running -- makes sense and is consistent with other behaviour (like sending this comment). I think sending the focus to the code window after run makes sense.

It's fine If we don't settle on clear for now as cmd+a then delete is a native way to clear the window without having to map anything and it keeps the focus.

Note that "clear" clears both the editor and the console.

I'd be super happy with just the Run shortcut and I'm not sure I would use a Clear shortcut often enough to warrant a shortcut.

Isn't Esc a good "Clear" (console & editor) shortcut?

from devrel.

Ctrl+Shift+Backspace is not uncommon for larger deletes, e.g. in GitHub comment fields it deletes a line.

Isn't Esc a good "Clear" (console & editor) shortcut?

Only if a popup asks whether you really want to do that. Otherwise Esc is too commonly used to have such destructive effects.

I am unsure whether an option to clear the console together with the output is really necessary. After all, the console is cleared anyways when re-running the code.
