A dialog, in this table, is one of these three questions: Start over?, Close Floe? and
Reset all settings?. One more question is not among them: This drop has renamed files, which
Show in folder asks for a request link drop with renamed files.
Ctrl O, Ctrl V, Ctrl H, Ctrl , and Ctrl R still act behind it, and Esc answers it with
Cancel.
Behavior worth knowing
Most shortcuts pause while you type.Ctrl O, Ctrl V, Ctrl H, Ctrl R and Ctrl Z do
nothing while the cursor is in a text field. So typing a code or a note is never interrupted, and a
half-typed note is never wiped mid-word. The text box also keeps its own paste and undo. Ctrl Enter
pauses too, except in the two fields that have an action of their own: the Text box and Code or
link.
Some also pause while a transfer runs. Ctrl O, Ctrl V and Ctrl Enter do nothing while a send
or a receive by code is running. The Send and Receive buttons are not available then either, so a
shortcut never starts something its button would refuse.
None of them acts behind a dialog. While Start over?, Close Floe? or Reset all settings? is
open, Ctrl O, Ctrl Enter, Ctrl V, Ctrl H, Ctrl , and Ctrl Z do nothing. A key cannot
change the screen behind the question. Ctrl R waits behind Close Floe? and Reset all settings?.
Behind Start over? it starts over only once nothing would be lost any more. Answer a dialog with its
buttons, Enter on the button that has focus, or Esc.
Ctrl , works while you type. It opens Settings from any screen, the way a preferences shortcut
normally does, except behind a dialog.
Request links have no shortcut. Ctrl Enter does nothing on the Request link view: no shortcut
makes a request link, accepts a request or declines one. To answer a request from
the keyboard, move focus to Accept or Decline and press Enter or Space. Both buttons ignore every
key and click for 1 second after the request appears, and for 1 second after the window comes back into
focus.
Ctrl Z is the narrowest of them. It undoes a Clear, and only from the Send tab that clear came
from. The undo itself waits while you look elsewhere, so going back to that tab brings it within reach
again: see Clear and Undo. Ctrl Shift Z is deliberately not an
undo, because it is redo on every platform that has it.
Ctrl R asks first when there is something to lose, and only then. The dialog is titled Start
over?, and its buttons are Keep going and Start over. Which cases ask, and the sentence each one
shows, are in Start over. Staged files never ask, because the originals are
untouched on disk. The shortcut and a click on Floe at the left of the title bar follow the same rules.
Ctrl R never reloads Floe. In a browser that key reloads the page. Floe switches reload off (its
window is a web view), so the key cannot drop a transfer that way. It only starts over, and asks first when
something would be lost.
Holding a shortcut fires it once. Key repeat is ignored for Ctrl V, Ctrl O, Ctrl Enter,
Ctrl ,, Ctrl H and Ctrl Z, so holding paste does not flood the list.
Four of them appear in the app. The tooltips on the title bar’s Floe name, the gear, the Back
arrow in Settings and the History clock show Ctrl+R, Ctrl+,, Esc and Ctrl+H. The others are not shown
anywhere on screen.
