Would be nice to be able to press single letter keys to jump cursor focus and change pages while the cursor focus is not inside an <input> or <textarea>. This would allow single letter keyboard shortcuts while still being able to type inside forms.For example, pressing "n" would open the New Ticket page."r" to jump cursor focus to Post Reply"i" to jump cursor to Internal Note"u" to jump to User Directoryand so on...Something like this: http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/I have played around making shortcuts in JS and was able to get some working but hit a wall trying to get the shortcuts to disable while cursor is inside redactor wysiwyg.These shortcuts would allow for speedy ticket creation, note entry, and user lookups.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will pass it along.

Well you would probably want a trigger key such as CTRL or something because otherwise you wouldn't be able to type :)

The JS example I provided above in the link has an option that allows you to disable the shortcuts while the cursor is in a textbox or input form. You would still be able to type.Also Chrome/Firefox already uses a bunch of Ctrl+ shortcuts.

I was able to get the code from HERE to work by adding the following elements to the disable_in_input option:textarea, div, and span. This allowed for single key shortcuts to work without triggering them while cursor focus was in the redactor WYSIWYG or any other forms/input fields.Here are some extremely useful shortcuts I have made thus far:'u' jumps to the User Directory't' jumps to Tickets'm' jumps to My Tickets'c' jumps to Closed Tickets'n' jumps to New Ticket'r' puts cursor into the redactor as a reply'i' puts cursor into the redactor as an internal note'esc' removes cursor focus from redactor wysiwyg'p' posts reply or internal note depending on which has focusIf I can get some time, I'll try to whip it all up into a plugin.

Hyperlink didn't work for some reason. This is the code I was referring to: http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/ It's rather old so it can probably be cleaned up and optimized quite a bit.
