Keyboard Shortcuts

I have an idea for the Scratch 2.0 upgrade.

Some key features, such as the [Flag clicked], [if], and [forever] blocks, should be assigned keyboard shortcuts. For example, the Flagclicked block could be [F], and so on. This would work only if you weren't in a text box of some sort. Whenever you press the key, the assigned block will appear where the mouse is. This could save a lot time.

So? Scratch Team, what do you think?  big_smile

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts

Support! Maybe for other things besides blocks too.

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts

Come to think of it, this would probably be better than all-out text-based programming.

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts

Sorry for the continuous bumping, but this needs to be implemented!

I agree.  In some of my recent projects, i've been going into the full-screen mode, and i was thinking there should be a keyboard shortcut, maybe like Alt+f and maybe some more like delete, duplicate, etc.

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts

That's an amazing idea! Also, arrow keys to highlight scripts so that it knows which script to add the block to! This, and scroll wheel support!  big_smile

Yes, fullscreen should totally be an option! F5 or F11, maybe, to stay in line with general programming standards.

Totally support this suggestion.
