dsh-client-shortcuts

Switching sessions, toggling panels, and scrolling long threads in the dsh web GUI all demand repeated mouse reach-ins that interrupt your flow. This plugin drops a global keyboard-shortcut layer into the dsh web interface, mapping high-frequency UI actions to key combinations so your hands stay on the keys.

Under the hood, the plugin registers a capture-phase keydown listener on window via the ShortcutRegistry service and dispatches every registered combo. When focus sits inside a text input, shortcuts are suppressed by default unless the binding explicitly opts in. The Settings to Shortcuts page lists every bindable action—focus input, new session, toggle sidebar, toggle detail panel, previous and next session, theme switch, scroll to top or bottom, and fork session—and lets you record a new combination, reset to default, and see conflict warnings in real time. Browser-reserved shortcuts such as Cmd+N and Cmd+T, along with macOS Option-modified combos that rewrite character output, are automatically rejected so you never waste time on bindings that can never fire. Session navigation mirrors the full display order of the sidebar, wraps around at both ends, and skips archived or blank entries.

This is for power users of dsh web who juggle multiple sessions, flip panels, or scroll through long threads without reaching for the mouse, and who want a keyboard-first workflow. A current caveat: custom bindings persist only for the page session and reset to defaults on refresh—persistence is on the roadmap, so treat this as a sandbox for gradually locking in your preferred key layout.
