Windows support about kbar HOT 12 CLOSED

Yeah, but not on Mac OS. Anyways, thanks for your help @timc1 and this awesome tool 🙌🏽

CTRL + K works well, menu could be opened and closed, but the shortcuts like "h for home" are not working, just nothing happens.

Will need to do some testing with Windows/Linux – will follow up here. If you can, let me know what browser/version you're using would be helpful 👍

Testing this behavior through a Windows device, switching between h and d looks to work fine:

@timc1 Hey, I have MS Edge 93.

Oh, now I see. I thought the shortcuts are working with opened menu, but they are working only if menu is closed.

Oh yes, that is one point of confusion I'm sure others may face. Will keep in mind when determining how to move forward with these shortcuts 👍

This is an interesting one 😉 @timc1 I've now discovered that on Ubuntu (20.04 + Chrome) it overrides default behavior. For instance, I've got C configured as a shortcut. On Mac, pressing only C executes configured KBar operation, whereas on Linux it hijacks Ctrl+C which is obviously used for copying. Is it an expected behavior, or how can I make it so that on Linux it behaves like on Mac, just pressing shortcut would do its thing.

Hey @assimovt! So if I'm understanding correctly, pressing c on a Mac works as expected, but on Linux it's rather running ctrl+c? I've never come across this, but as a first step would mapping c to another key; i.e. d be a quick fix?

Yeah, that'd have been my "solution" as well, but then I was worried it hijacks all other keys, like Ctrl+o, etc. This is what I found and I think it's how the clipboard is handled in Unbuntu, but I am not sure:

Basically, if I Ctrl+C on a "textA", then do it again for the same text, my guess is that Ctrl is no longer triggered by the OS and it treats it as just C. I hope I've expressed myself clearly. In that case, yeah, it'd be just easier to remap it.

Maybe #55 would have helped in such cases.

That's default behavior across OSes yeah? I suppose if you're doing ctrl+c and subsequently hitting c without lifting ctrl that's what would happen.

In Windows on Chrome, Ctrl + K focuses the address bar. I am unable to open kbar search. Maybe this is due to a Chrome update. I might open a new issue.

@austincondiff Try Ctrl + windows + k as a workaround
