Description

It would be nice if one could navigate through slideshows without a mouse as this makes presenting easier. Most webbrowsers support a feature called accesskeys. Links can have a property accesskey="x". This makes a browser follow that link when pressing alt-x.

Solution

This is easily hackable. I used a recent MoinMoinDesktopEdition. You need to modify two files.

• The MoinMoin.wikiutil.link_tag() function has to accept accesskey via **kw, so add the following to the beginning of the function.

  • if kw.has_key('accesskey'):
        accesskey = kw['accesskey']
        del kw['accesskey']
    else:
        accesskey = None

    Furthermore the following block is needed near the end of the function. It's obvious where to add.

    if accesskey:
        attrs += ' accesskey="%s"' % accesskey

• The MoinMoin.macro.Navigation.Navigation.do_slides() function has to be extended a bit. So replace the line

  • result.append(Page(self.macro.request, name).link_to(self.macro.request, text=label, querystr=self.querystr)) with result.append(Page(self.macro.request, name).link_to(self.macro.request, text=label, querystr=self.querystr, accesskey='^': 'g', '|<': 'h', '<<': 'k', '>>': 'j', '>|': 'l'}[label]))

Yes, this hack is ugly and that's why you should clean this before commiting. -- HelmutGrohne
