    KEYDOWN EVENTS FOR FORUM


    Overview

    Description

    By using keydown events (or shortcuts) we can access whatever we want in our forum without need to navigate there by clicking. Where the shortcut will navigate depends only on your choice.

    Demonstration

    Keydown events for forum Ezgif-com-gif-maker

    Technical limitations

    › This tutorial is dedicated to the forums powered by Forumotion free forum service
    › Requires to be the Founder of the #Forumotion  Forum
    › It works with all Forumotion forums' versions

    Installation

    Introduction

    Installation is pretty straight forward.


    Javascript & jQuery

    For the next step you need to go towards Administration Control Panel (ACP)   Modules HTML & Javascript Javascript codes management and create a new code - upon verifying that Javascript codes management is enabled.

    • Title: Keydown events
    • Where: All pages
    • Code:

      You need to reply to the topic in order to see the code resources




    Javascript Customization

    The script given above moves you to:

    Shift+F = FAQ page
    Shift+S = Search page
    Shift+1 = Inbox page

    You can alter all of that by changing the link inside
    Code:
    location.href
    . Variable
    Code:
    ${base_url}
    is used to get your forum URL so you don't need to type your forum url. It's universal even if you change forum address it will work.

    When it comes to events, visit this website: https://www.toptal.com/developers/keycode and press any key on your keyboard. When you do that, you will see the number of that key. In the code above, you can change that value with variable
    Code:
    keyCode
    and by doing so, new shortcut will work. Do not change Shift key because Ctrl key is already taken by web browsers for different shortcuts.

    Final considerations

    Tutorial is created in case you want to surf through your forum much quicker without need to open menus, or click links to do whatever.

      Maybe we can include more combinations?
      Code:
      if(e.shiftKey && e.keyCode == 70){
