First step : I will change "b" by "g-b".
Second step : I will try to allow edit/modify the keyboard shortcuts.

Changing default behavior like this is not quite nice. A better way would be to actually allow configuration of the shortcuts (and this is the actual request of this JIRA). This just makes it be something you are more comfortable with, but at the sacrifice of changing default behavior. Boo.

Hi,

Yes, I know that my change is no the good solution, but it's a temporary solution pending the improvement.
Personally, I think the shortcut should be "g-b" by default rather than "b", beacause other shortcut are like "g-x" and because "b" may be unintentionally type.

Add the way to edit/modify the keyboard shortcuts is more complex and take times.

So, do you think that I must rollback my changes ?

As the original author of this plugin, I can tell you the motiviation behind that scheme. The single key characters are for frequent DO_THIS type things, like Open a job that is highlighted, or move up and down in a job list (e.g. View). The g-X combinations are for dramatic movement across major boundaries. Like GO-HOME, GO-CONFIGURE, GO-VIEW

. The G means GO, to GO to another page kind of thing.

I am really happy that someone is using and contributing to the plugin. I just see this change as breaking some key behavior, and frankly speaking, the people that use keyboard shortcuts are obsessive types that do not like behavior being changed...

Any news on a configurable keyboard shortcut plugin?
