Have the shortcut dialog toggle appearance / disappearance

[steveculshaw]

What improvement do you think would an existing feature in CtrlHelp?

Have the shortcut dialog toggle appearance / disappearance

Currently the shortcut dialog appears when the CTRL (or whichever key setup)

It would be good if another press of CTRL key would have it disappear ...
_- I'd prefer it if it was a short press, as that'd suit my workflow

• when editing text, I tend to sit there with the CTRL pressed while I move my cursor word by word with the left/right arrows_

Solution/Idea

Add a "setting" ?

Hello,
Thank you for this feedback. Have you try the Escape key? It closes the window.

A concern I'd have for using the Ctrl key to close the window is that it may conflict with Ctrl+F, which moves the focus to the search bar.

Yeap, I'm currently using the ESC key, but it breaks "my flow"

Looking at the settings, I noticed that I can change the CTRL key to another one ...
Trying out SHIFT, which is better in that it doesn't impact any of the arrow movement key pairs; CTRL + and ALT +

The hand move up to ESC to dismiss the dialog is still a bit of a pain, at least for me ... on my keyboard I don't tend to have to move my hands as I'm typing, but getting to the ESC key I have to actually lift my hand over to click it.

But switching to using the SHIFT key looks to be removing the big pain of the dialog inadvertently opening when I wasn't wanting it ... I now have to make an explicit choice to depress the SHIFT key
