Bug 433332

Hi

Oftentimes when I use Korganizer, I wish to see what’s ahead. And since I do most stuff with the keyboard because it is the fastest method for small movements, I instinctively move my hand to the navigation area of the keyboard. I propose the following new default keyboard shortcuts:

Page up: trigger Previous action
Page down: trigger Next action
Home (or Alt+Home in accordance with Dolpin’s go to Start page?): go to today
Cursor keys: change selected day or time, which is currently only possible with the mouse.

Unfortunately, using Ctrl+number keys to change calendar views like in Dolphin is not possible because those are already taken by Kontact. Perhaps
Ctrl+w: show week
Ctrl+d: show day
Ctrl+m: show month
Could be an option? Or some other scheme that fits nicely into the sequence of items in the View menu, e.g. F2 through F4 for day, week, month. I wouldn’t consider F5, because it is usually associated with Refresh. In contrast to the first shortcuts I mentioned above, those just came into my mind during writing this request. But they are still worth a consideration.


While looking at the menu, I just discovered (after 15 years of using Korganizer :) ), that the items for viewing one day, 3 days and a week are menu items under „Go to“ rather than view. I find this confusing, because they don’t change the viewed date and because those items are disabled (only?) in the Month view. I usually add them to the toolbar because I use them seldom, and always wondered why they were on different toolbars than the View modes or even available in multiple toolbars.

I think a submenu under View would make more sense:
View menu → Day view range (or some other appropriate wording) → [One day, three days, work week, week]. Shortcuts could be assigned to Shift+Fx keys.

Best regards
