[D9] Hotkeys for Save

Project description

The module enables you to use hotkeys Ctrl+S (Win) and Cmd+S (Mac) instead of clicking on the Save button.
The term "Save button" should be understood in a general sense. So, the submit button may have other names, such as:

'Save block',
'Continue',
'Delete',
'Save permissions',
'Create new account',
'Finish',
'Continue & edit',
'Save and edit',
'Save and continue',
'Save and manage fields',
'Save configuration' and etc.

It should be noted that if these hotkeys are pressed, then browser's 'Save As' dialog does not appear. Therefore, do not give the permissions for this module to ordinary users.

There is 'Hotkey' module, which allow to add 'HTML accesskey Attribute' to form buttons. The accesskey attribute specifies a shortcut key to click on the buttons. But the problem is that the way of accessing the shortcut key is varying in different browsers. Furthermore in Firefox you need to press three keys at the same time, which is not quite convenient. The same situation is with Chrome on Mac (see: HTML accesskey Attribute).

There are also the following modules: 'Keyboard shortcut', 'jQuery Hotkeys' and 'Keyboard Shortcut Utility'. These modules allow you create keyboard shortcuts and associate them to JavaScript functions. However you must create these functions himself. Therefore you need to know JavaScript and spend time to create these functions.
