Nice work! Can you operate the GUI entirely with the keyboard? If not, I think it would be great if you could do things like: - Use Ctrl+Tab to switch tabs.

Nice work!
Can you operate the GUI entirely with the keyboard?
If not, I think it would be great if you could do things like:
- Use Ctrl+Tab to switch tabs.
- Use Tab to cycle focus over inputs.
- Use Keyboard Mnemonics (underlined letters) to focus on specific inputs.
If Fig can already do these things, I would update your demo video to show that because switching between CLI and GUI is very easy when you don't have to constantly pick up the mouse.
(Oh, didn't notice this was Mac only. Ewww. (Sorry.) I hate macOS precisely because operating it's GUI with a keyboard is the most painful experience of any OS.)
- mschrage 6y agoThis is a great question. We spent a lot of time making sure the Fig can be driven from the keyboard. You can launch apps, search your shortcuts and toggle focus between the terminal and Fig all without touching the mouse. Our global hot key is CMD+I. Each Fig app also has its own shortcuts. A few of the conventions we are trying to enforce across all of them are J and K for moving between inputs (tab also works) and the keyboard mnemonics you mentioned.
- masukomi 6y agoI think i would make this way more obvious on the front page. I use the terminal in no small part so that i _don't_ have to reach for the mouse. What I saw in the animation made me think "OMG YOU'RE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT!!!" BUT if these visual additions didn't require me to reach for the mouse, _and_ were design with keyboard interaction as a primary input not an "well yeah you can also...." then yeah, count me as intrigued. Would love to play with it. related note: the signup form doesn't work when you hit enter (single input forms usually do) and when you tab to highlight the submit button the halo is almost imperceptibly small.
