Hotkey to go to source mode + hotkey to go to live preview

Would it be possible to have

  • source mode: 1 hotkey
  • live preview: 1 hotkey
  • preview: 1 hotkey

there’s actually two:

  • 1 for preview
  • 1 for editing mode with a toggle eache time you use it

I don’t know how many minutes and patience i loose sometimes to find source mode with the hotkeys and the toggle thing.

I use the 3 modes:

  • source a lot
  • live preview when i have table to edit
  • preview to read.

For my case it would be so muche easier to have 1 hotkey for each mode

As an idea, before/if this is implemented - you can already use only two Hotkeys to toggle this. I’m using them regularly …

(keys I assign by my logic)

When you’re in source mode, you can’t toggle read/edit.

Here is the current transitions between different modes:

  1. Toggle Live Preview/Source mode
  2. Toggle reading view
from/to live preview source reading
live preview 1 2
source 1 2

Transitions from reading mode depend earlier editing mode used. The earlier editing mode is determined by two factors: tab specific editing mode and in case of new tabs default editing mode setting. The problem is that the user should remember whether the tab was new or which editing mode was previously used. This problem occurs only when transitioning from reading mode to source/live preview. In that case we could have two additional shortcuts:

  1. Enter live preview
  2. Enter source mode

Then above table becomes:

from/to live preview source reading
live preview 1 2
source 1 2
reading 3 4

The first link below shows another feature request with three commands which allows you to switch directly to any mode of your choice. These can then be assigned to three different hotkeys.

The following thread shows an option to cycle through all three modes with just one command.
