Spec for unified keybindings and commands, and synthesized action names (#6532)
## Summary of the Pull Request This is another iteration on the Command Palette spec, from #5674. These were some ideas that were tossed around by @DHowett, @cinnamon-msft and myself, formalized here. I proposed this as an addendum to the original spec, since I think the first made sense atomically, and this only makes sense as a set of changes to the original. I didn't want to go hacking up the original doc to add this set of changes. **There are two proposals in this spec - they should be viewed as two atomic units. They can be accepted or rejected independently. I'm suggesting we approve both. They work _together_. I'm realizing now that this is worded confusingly, and it's on me to fix that.** ## PR Checklist * [x] Another spec in the #2046 / #5400 saga * [x] I work here * [x] _is a doc_ > ## Abstract > > This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec]. > While that spec is complete in it's own right, subsequent discussion revealed > additional ways to improve the functionality and usability of the command > palette.

# Command Palette, Addendum 1 - Unified keybindings and commands, and synthesized action names
|
||||
|
||||
## Abstract
|
||||
|
||||
This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec].
|
||||
While that spec is complete in it's own right, subsequent discussion revealed
|
||||
additional ways to improve the functionality and usability of the command
|
||||
palette. This document builds largely on the topics already introduced in the
|
||||
original spec, so readers should first familiarize themselves with that
|
||||
document.
|
||||
|
||||
One point of note from the original document was that the original specification
|
||||
was entirely too verbose when defining both keybindings and commands for
|
||||
actions. Consider, for instance, a user that wants to bind the action "duplicate
|
||||
the current pane". In that spec, they need to add both a keybinding and a
|
||||
command:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"keybindings": [
|
||||
{ "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+t" ], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{ "name": "Duplicate Pane", "action": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "icon": null },
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These two entries are practically the same, except for two key differentiators:
|
||||
* the keybinding has a `keys` property, indicating which key chord activates the
|
||||
action.
|
||||
* The command has a `name` property, indicating what name to display for the
|
||||
command in the Command Palette.
|
||||
|
||||
What if the user didn't have to duplicate this action? What if the user could
|
||||
just add this action once, in their `keybindings` or `commands`, and have it
|
||||
work both as a keybinding AND a command?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution Design
|
||||
|
||||
This spec will outline two primary changes to keybindings and commands.
|
||||
1. Unify keybindings and commands, so both `keybindings` and `commands` can
|
||||
specify either actions bound to keys, and/or actions bound to entries in the
|
||||
Command Palette.
|
||||
2. Propose a mechanism by which actions do not _require_ a `name` to appear in
|
||||
the Command Palette.
|
||||
|
||||
These proposals are two atomic units - either could be approved or rejected
|
||||
independently of one another. They're presented together here in the same doc
|
||||
because together, they present a compelling story.
|
||||
|
||||
### Proposal 1: Unify Keybindings and Commands
|
||||
|
||||
As noted above, keybindings and commands have nearly the exact same syntax, save
|
||||
for a couple properties. To make things easier for the user, I'm proposing
|
||||
treating everything in _both_ the `keybindings` _and_ the `commands` arrays as
|
||||
**BOTH** a keybinding and a command.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, as a change from the previous spec, we'll be using `bindings` from
|
||||
here on as the unified `keybindings` and `commands` lists. This is considering
|
||||
that we'll currently be using `bindings` for both commands and keybindings, but
|
||||
we'll potentially also have mouse & touch bindings in this array in the future.
|
||||
We'll "deprecate" the existing `keybindings` property, and begin to exclusively
|
||||
use `bindings` as the new property name. For compatibility reasons, we'll
|
||||
continue to parse `keybindings` in the same way we parse `bindings`. We'll
|
||||
simply layer `bindings` on top of the legacy `keybindings`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Anything entry that has a `keys` value will be added to the keybindings.
|
||||
Pressing that keybinding will activate the action defined in `command`.
|
||||
* Anything with a `name`<sup>[1]</sup> will be added as an entry (using that
|
||||
name) to the Command Palette's Action Mode.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
* **Nested commands** (commands with other nested commands). If a command has
|
||||
nested commands in the `commands` property, AND a `keys` property, then
|
||||
pressing that keybinding should open the Command Palette directly to that
|
||||
level of nesting of commands.
|
||||
* **"Iterable" commands** (with an `iterateOn` property): These are commands
|
||||
that are expanded into one command per profile. These cannot really be bound
|
||||
as keybindings - which action should be bound to the key? They can't all be
|
||||
bound to the same key. If a KeyBinding/Command json blob has a valid
|
||||
`iterateOn` property, then we'll ignore it as a keybinding. This includes any
|
||||
commands that are nested as children of this command - we won't be able to
|
||||
know which of the expanded children will be the one to bind the keys to.
|
||||
|
||||
<sup>[1]</sup>: This requirement will be relaxed given **Proposal 2**, below,
|
||||
but ignored for the remainder of this section, for illustrative purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example
|
||||
|
||||
Consider the following settings:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"bindings": [
|
||||
{ "name": "Duplicate Tab", "command": "duplicateTab", "keys": "ctrl+alt+a" },
|
||||
{ "command": "nextTab", "keys": "ctrl+alt+b" },
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "NewTabWithProfileRootCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"iterateOn": "profiles",
|
||||
"icon": "${profile.icon}",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "NewTabWithProfileCommandName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "newTab", "profile": "${profile.name}" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": "Connect to ssh...",
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"keys": "ctrl+alt+c",
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": "first.com",
|
||||
"command": { "action": "newTab", "commandline": "ssh me@first.com" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"keys": "ctrl+alt+d",
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": "second.com",
|
||||
"command": { "action": "newTab", "commandline": "ssh me@second.com" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
{
|
||||
"keys": "ctrl+alt+e",
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneWithProfileRootCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"iterateOn": "profiles",
|
||||
"icon": "${profile.icon}",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneWithProfileCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"keys": "ctrl+alt+f",
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "automatic" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneVerticalName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "vertical" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": "...",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneHorizontalName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "horizontal" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate a tree of commands as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<Command Palette>
|
||||
├─ Duplicate tab { ctrl+alt+a }
|
||||
├─ New Tab With Profile...
|
||||
│ ├─ Profile 1
|
||||
│ ├─ Profile 2
|
||||
│ └─ Profile 3
|
||||
├─ Connect to ssh...
|
||||
│ ├─ first.com { ctrl+alt+c }
|
||||
│ └─ second.com { ctrl+alt+d }
|
||||
└─ New Pane... { ctrl+alt+e }
|
||||
├─ Profile 1...
|
||||
| ├─ Split Automatically
|
||||
| ├─ Split Vertically
|
||||
| └─ Split Horizontally
|
||||
├─ Profile 2...
|
||||
| ├─ Split Automatically
|
||||
| ├─ Split Vertically
|
||||
| └─ Split Horizontally
|
||||
└─ Profile 3...
|
||||
├─ Split Automatically
|
||||
├─ Split Vertically
|
||||
└─ Split Horizontally
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note also the keybindings in the above example:
|
||||
* <kbd>ctrl+alt+a</kbd>: This key chord is bound to the "Duplicate tab"
|
||||
(`duplicateTab`) action, which is also bound to the command with the same
|
||||
name.
|
||||
* <kbd>ctrl+alt+b</kbd>: This key chord is bound to the `nextTab` action, which
|
||||
doesn't have an associated command.
|
||||
* <kbd>ctrl+alt+c</kbd>: This key chord is bound to the "Connect to
|
||||
ssh../first.com" action, which will open a new tab with the `commandline`
|
||||
`"ssh me@first.com"`. When the user presses this keybinding, the action will
|
||||
be executed immediately, without the Command Palette appearing.
|
||||
* <kbd>ctrl+alt+d</kbd>: This is the same as the above, but with the "Connect to
|
||||
ssh../second.com" action.
|
||||
* <kbd>ctrl+alt+e</kbd>: This key chord is bound to opening the Command Palette
|
||||
to the "New Pane..." command's menu. When the user presses this keybinding,
|
||||
they'll be prompted with this command's sub-commands:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Profile 1...
|
||||
Profile 2...
|
||||
Profile 3...
|
||||
```
|
||||
* <kbd>ctrl+alt+f</kbd>: This key will _not_ be bound to any action. The parent
|
||||
action is iterable, which means that the `SplitPaneName` command is going to
|
||||
get turned into one command for each and every profile, and therefore cannot
|
||||
be bound to just a single action.
|
||||
|
||||
### Proposal 2: Automatically synthesize action names
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, all Commands were required to have a `name`. This name was used as
|
||||
the text for the action in the Action Mode of the Command Palette. However, this
|
||||
is a little tedious for users who already have lots of keys bound. They'll need
|
||||
to go through and add names to each of their existing keybindings to ensure that
|
||||
the actions appear in the palette. Could we instead synthesize the names for the
|
||||
commands ourselves? This would enable users to automatically get each of their
|
||||
existing keybindings to appear in the palette without any extra work.
|
||||
|
||||
To support this, the following changes will be made:
|
||||
* `ActionAndArgs` will get a `GenerateName()` method defined. This will create a
|
||||
string describing the `ShortcutAction` and it's associated `ActionArgs`.
|
||||
- Not EVERY action _needs_ to define a result for `GenerateName`. Actions that
|
||||
don't _won't_ be automatically added to the Command Palette.
|
||||
- Each of the strings used in `GenerateName` will need to come from our
|
||||
resources, so they can be localized appropriately.
|
||||
* When we're parsing commands, if a command doesn't have a `name`, we'll instead
|
||||
attempt to use `GenerateName` to create the unique string for the action
|
||||
associated with this command. If the command does have a `name` set, we'll use
|
||||
that string instead, allowing the user to override the default name.
|
||||
- If a command has it's name set to `null`, then we'll ignore the command
|
||||
entirely, not just use the generated name.
|
||||
|
||||
[**Appendix 1**](#appendix-1-name-generation-samples-for-ShortcutActions) below
|
||||
shows a complete sample of the strings that will be generated for each of the existing
|
||||
`ShortcutActions`, and many of the actions that have been proposed, but not yet
|
||||
implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
These strings should be human-friendly versions of the actions and their
|
||||
associated args. For some of these actions, with very few arguments, the strings
|
||||
can be relatively simple. Take for example, `CopyText`:
|
||||
|
||||
JSON | Generated String
|
||||
-- | --
|
||||
`{ "action":"copyText" }` | "Copy text"
|
||||
`{ "action":"copyText", "singleLine": true }` | "Copy text as a single line"
|
||||
`{ "action":"copyText", "singleLine": false, "copyFormatting": false }` | "Copy text without formatting"
|
||||
`{ "action":"copyText", "singleLine": true, "copyFormatting": true }` | "Copy text as a single line without formatting"
|
||||
|
||||
CopyText is a bit of a simplistic case however, with very few args or
|
||||
permutations of argument values. For things like `newTab`, `splitPane`, where
|
||||
there are many possible arguments and values, it will be acceptable to simply
|
||||
append `", property:value"` strings to the generated names for each of the set
|
||||
values.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
JSON | Generated String
|
||||
-- | --
|
||||
`{ "action":"newTab", "profile": "Hello" }` | "Open a new tab, profile:Hello"
|
||||
`{ "action":"newTab", "profile": "Hello", "directory":"C:\\", "commandline": "wsl.exe", title": "Foo" }` | "Open a new tab, profile:Hello, directory:C:\\, commandline:wsl.exe, title:Foo"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This is being chosen in favor of something that might be more human-friendly,
|
||||
like "Open a new tab with profile {profile name} in {directory} with
|
||||
{commandline} and a title of {title}". This string would be much harder to
|
||||
synthesize, especially considering localization concerns.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Remove the resource key notation
|
||||
|
||||
Since we'll be using localized names for each of the actions in `GenerateName`,
|
||||
we no longer _need_ to provide the `{ "name":{ "key": "SomeResourceKey" } }`
|
||||
syntax introduced in the original spec. This functionality was used to allow us
|
||||
to define localizable names for the default commands.
|
||||
|
||||
However, I think we should keep this functionality, to allow us additional
|
||||
flexibility when defining default commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Complete Defaults
|
||||
|
||||
Considering both of the above proposals, the default keybindings and commands
|
||||
will be defined as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* The current default keybindings will be untouched. These actions will
|
||||
automatically be added to the Command Palette, using their names generated
|
||||
from `GenerateName`.
|
||||
- **TODO: FOR DISCUSSION**: Should we manually set the names for the default
|
||||
"New Tab, profile index: 0" keybindings to `null`? This seems like a not
|
||||
terribly helpful name for the Command Palette, especially considering the
|
||||
iterable commands listed below.
|
||||
* We'll add a few new commands:
|
||||
- A nested, iterable command for "Open new tab with
|
||||
profile..."/"Profile:{profile name}"
|
||||
- A nested, iterable command for "Select color scheme..."/"{scheme name}"
|
||||
- A nested, iterable command for "New Pane..."/"Profile:{profile
|
||||
name}..."/["Automatic", "Horizontal", "Vertical"]
|
||||
> 👉 NOTE: These default nested commands can be removed by the user defining
|
||||
> `{ "name": "Open new tab with profile...", "action":null }` (et al) in their
|
||||
> settings.
|
||||
- If we so chose, in the future we can add further commands that we think are
|
||||
helpful to `defaults.json`, without needing to give them keys. For example,
|
||||
we could add
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "command": { "action": "copy", "singleLine": true } }
|
||||
```
|
||||
to `bindings`, to add a "copy text as a single line" command, without
|
||||
necessarily binding it to a keystroke.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
These changes to the `defaults.json` are represented in json as the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"bindings": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": { "key": "NewTabWithProfileRootCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"iterateOn": "profiles",
|
||||
"icon": "${profile.icon}",
|
||||
"name": "${profile.name}",
|
||||
"command": { "action": "newTab", "profile": "${profile.name}" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SelectColorSchemeRootCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"iterateOn": "schemes",
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": "${scheme.name}",
|
||||
"command": { "action": "selectColorScheme", "scheme": "${scheme.name}" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneWithProfileRootCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"iterateOn": "profiles",
|
||||
"icon": "${profile.icon}",
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneWithProfileCommandName" },
|
||||
"commands": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "automatic" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneVerticalName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "vertical" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"icon": null,
|
||||
"name": { "key": "SplitPaneHorizontalName" },
|
||||
"command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "horizontal" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A complete diagram of what the default Command Palette will look like given the
|
||||
default keybindings and these changes is given in [**Appendix
|
||||
2**](#appendix-2-complete-default-command-palette).
|
||||
|
||||
## Concerns
|
||||
|
||||
**DISCUSSION**: "New tab with index {index}". How does this play with
|
||||
the new tab dropdown customizations in [#5888]? In recent iterations of that
|
||||
spec, we changed the meaning of `{ "action": "newTab", "index": 1 }` to mean
|
||||
"open the first entry in the new tab menu". If that's a profile, then we'll open
|
||||
a new tab with it. If it's an action, we'll perform that action. If it's a
|
||||
nested menu, then we'll open the menu to that entry.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, how exactly does that play with something like `{ "action":
|

"newTab", "index": 1, "commandline": "wsl.exe" }`? This is really a discussion
|
||||
for that spec, but is an issue highlighted by this spec. If the first entry is
|
||||
anything other than a `profile`, then the `commandline` parameter doesn't really
|
||||
mean anything anymore. I'm tempted to revert this particular portion of the new
|
||||
tab menu customization spec over this.
|
||||
|
||||
We could instead add an `index` to `openNewTabDropdown`, and have that string
|
||||
instead be "Open new tab dropdown, index:1". That would help disambiguate the
|
||||
two.
|
||||
|
||||
Following discussion, it was decided that this was in fact the cleanest
|
||||
solution, when accounting for both the needs of the new tab dropdown and the
|
||||
command palette. The [#5888] spec has been updated to reflect this.
|
||||
|
||||
## Future considerations
|
||||
|
||||
* Some of these command names are starting to get _very_ long. Perhaps we need a
|
||||
netting to display Command Palette entries on two lines (or multiple, as
|
||||
necessary).
|
||||
* When displaying the entries of a nested command to the user, should we display
|
||||
a small label showing the name of the previous command? My gut says _yes_. In
|
||||
the Proposal 1 example, pressing `ctrl+alt+e` to jump to "Split Pane..."
|
||||
should probably show a small label that displays "Split Pane..." above the
|
||||
list of nested commands.
|
||||
* It wouldn't be totally impossible to allow keys to be bound to an iterable
|
||||
command, and then simply have the key work as "open the command palette with
|
||||
only the commands generated by this iterable command". This is left as a
|
||||
future option, as it might require some additional technical plumbing.

- OPINION: THIS ONE SHOULDN'T HAVE A NAME. We're not including any of these by
|
||||
default. The user knows what they're putting in the settings by adding this
|
||||
action, let them name it.
|
||||
- Alternatively: "Run actions: {action.ToName() for action in actions}"
|
||||
* `SendInput`
|
||||
- OPINION: THIS ONE SHOULDN'T HAVE A NAME. We're not including any of these by
|
||||
default. The user knows what they're putting in the settings by adding this
|
||||
action, let them name it.
|
||||
* `ToggleMarkMode`
|
||||
- "Toggle Mark Mode"
|
||||
* `NextTab`
|
||||
- "Switch to the next most-recent tab"
|
||||
* `SetTabColor`
|
||||
- "Set the color of the current tab to {#color}"
|
||||
* It would be _really_ cool if we could display a sample of the color
|
||||
inline, but that's left as a future consideration.
|
||||
- "Set the color for this tab..."
|
||||
* this command isn't nested, but hitting enter immediately does something
|
||||
with the UI, so that's _fine_
|
||||
* `RenameTab`
|
||||
- "Rename this tab to {name}"
|
||||
- "Rename this tab..."
|
||||
* this command isn't nested, but hitting enter immediately does something
|
||||
with the UI, so that's _fine_

## Appendix 2: Complete Default Command Palette
|
||||
|
||||
This diagram shows what the default value of the Command Palette would be. This
|
||||
assumes that the user has 3 profiles, "Profile 1", "Profile 2", and "Profile 3",
|
||||
as well as 3 schemes: "Scheme 1", "Scheme 2", and "Scheme 3".
