Citation dialog: keep reference panel open without selection
- Reference panel remains opened while the focus is on an input
- The first item from the reference panel is no longer selected by default
to avoid unwanted items being added as a bubble
- The first item from the reference panel is selected only when the
dialog has no bubbles or when a search for a non-empty input has ran
- Shift-Enter from input or reference panel will accept the dialog's
state instead of creating a bubble
- Ensure that the reference panel reloads when a bubble is deleted
- Added button to accept the citation dialog
Some other changes:
- Z-icon and spinner/accept icon occupy the same amount
of space
- Ensure that window's width is 800px
- Set the editor's width dynamically when DOM is loaded
- Remove not used css classes and css adding margins to
z-icon.
- Do not accept/bubbleize while loading
- use dialog as the anchor, not the document element
- after the window is resized, the panel will remain
where it was, so if it's far away from the dialog,
if gets closed and re-opened to reposition it.
Use <checkbox> instead of <html:input type="checkbox"> for the
suppress author checkbox. <html:input> on mousedown on the actual box
looses focus, so the popover is immediately closed by focusout listener.
Fixes: #3830
- Backspace from the very beginning of the input will delete the previous
bubble, as opposed to removing the input itself. If it makes it so that
two inputs are next to each other, they are merged.
- When a new input is created via a mouse click, and the current input
is empty, manually delete it right away. Waiting for the blur handler
to remove it makes it so that the bubbles shift back and forth for a moment
when a new input is added and the old input is not removed.
- Minor tweak to make sure that even if there's a 'br' before an input,
clicking before it will not make a new input and just refocus it.
Fixes: zotero#3749
- removed all cursor-related logic. Instead, insert a new input component
each time the user wants to type. The input remain between bubbles
and focusing on one will open the reference panel. Leaving the input hides
the reference panel.
- during drag-drop reordering, lock the editor height so that it doesn't
get out of sync with the window.
- removed the iframe, since it was no longer needed.
- keyboard navigation: Home/End will place an input at the start/end
of the editor and focus it. Tab focuses the last active input if any, or
the input in the end otherwise. Shift-Tab from the editor focuses the
dropdown button if it is active. Tab from the input will focus the first
entry of the reference list. Tab from the reference list will focus the
active input. Shift-ArrowLeft/Right from focused bubble will swap the bubble
with its neighbor. ArrowDown/Up from bubble will open/close the citation dialog.
- when a reference item is selected, previously active input is re-focused.
- aria-properties to have voiceover, JAWS and NVDA read bubbles, inputs and
reference items, as well as announce hints about available keypresses.
- typing from bubble or the reference panel will refocus previously active
input
- different minor updates to make the functionality less janky
- refactoring of refreshing and resizing of the reference panel to
be more straightforward and to only do it when necessary.
E.g. clicking on a bubble and closing the
popover after will not rerun search and just display the old results.
- some throttling logic so that two escape keypresses one after another
when the itemPopover is open do not close the entire dialog
- renamed variables: qfb=dialog, qfe=editor, panel=itemPopover
- use short form of locator string for bubbles
.icon-item-type is now global, with extra styling to handle row selection when
it's inside the item tree.
getImageSrc() is still used for progress windows, which is probably OK for now
because those don't stay on screen for very long. I've updated it to return SVGs
based on the current UI color scheme.
Other code uses treeitem-* images directly; getting rid of those references will
cause a lot of conflicts and be a bit more involved than this initial pass, so
I'll put that in a separate PR.
- Sort the Open Documents section by reverse-open order and further by
reverse tab order (if unopened in this session).
- If Library is selected in the Zotero window, automatically show and
filter at the top selected items
- Fix missing styling in Quick Format dialog
- Fix Book Section panel being immediately hidden
- Remove low-res Zotero icon
- Increase font size and tweak padding
Removes a huge amount of excessive files and duplication for CE scss.
All CE css is now output in the single
zotero-react-client.css file.
Moving all CE styling into a single stylesheet required removing their
shadow DOMs. It is desirable anyway, since you want to
be able to style CEs from "outside", when embedding in different
contexts.
Shadow removal required some CE code changes to maintain
functionality.
Elements refactored:
- attachment-box (displayed when an attachment (like PDF) is selected in
the item tree)
- color-picker (in the tag color selector)
- guidance-panel (displayed on first run when editing authors for a book
section)
- item-box (info tab in the item pane)
- note-editor
- notes-box (note tab in the item pane)
- quick-search-textbox
- related-box (related tab in the item pane)
- tags-box (tags tab in the item pane)
- zoterosearch (advanced search condition builder form)
- Word for Windows not tested since there's no build yet
- Word for Mac currently causes a sigsev, and likely we'll see this on
windows too. This is happening on an API call where we pass a callback,
so likely an issue in ctypes that we'll have to work around.
- All integration UIs restored.
- Added a component for richlistitems with a checkbox with corresponding
interactions (spacebar/double-click to toggle).
This fixes the dictionary manager and various other places where a XUL
element was being created with createElement(), and also simplifies a lot
of createElementNS(HTML_NS, ...) calls.
This might cause some minor regressions but everything tested has
worked. Not touching preferences (#2659) or bindings.
- Just a single huge commit. This has been developed over too long a
time, required many tiny changes across too many files and has seen too
many iterations to be separated into separate commits.
The original branch with all the messy commits will be kept around for
posterity
bb220ad0f2...adomasven:feature/react-item-tree
- Replaces XUL <tree> element across the whole zotero client codebase
with a custom supermegafast virtualized-table inspired by
react-virtualized yet mimicking old XUL treeview API. The
virtualized-table sits on top on a raw-to-the-metal,
interpreted-at-runtime JS based windowing solution inspired by
react-window. React-based solutions could not be used because they were
slow and Zotero UI needs to be responsive and be able to
display thousands of rows in a treeview without any slowdowns.
- Attempts were made at making this screen-reader friendly, but yet to
be tested with something like JAWS
- RTL-friendly
- Styling and behaviour across all platforms was copied as closely as
possible to the original XUL tree
- Instead of row-based scroll snapping this has smooth-scrolling. If
you're using arrow keys to browse through the tree then it effectively
snap-scrolls. Current CSS snap scroll attributes do not seem to work in
the way we would require even on up-to-date browsers, yet alone the ESR
version of FX that Zotero is on. JS solutions are either terrible for
performance or produce inexcusable jitter.
- When dragging-and-dropping items the initial drag freezes the UI for
a fairly jarring amount of time. Does not seem to be fixable due to
the synchronous code that needs to be run in the dragstart handler.
Used to be possible to run that code async with the XUL tree.
- Item tree column picker no longer has a dedicated button. Just
right-click the columns. The column preferences (width, order, etc) are
no longer handled by XUL, which required a custom serialization and
storage solution that throws warnings in the developer console due to
the amount of data being stored. Might cause temporary freezing on HDDs
upon column resize/reorder/visibility toggling.
- Context menu handling code basically unchanged, but any UI changes
that plugins may have wanted to do (including adding new columns) will
have to be redone by them. No serious thought has gone into how plugin
developers would achieve that yet.
- Opens up the possibility for awesome alternative ways to render the
tree items, including things like multiple-row view for the item tree,
which has been requested for a long while especially by users switching
from other referencing software
- Allow to format citations inside note-editor
- Allow quickFormat dialog to display and pick already cited items, even if an item no longer exists
- Watch and automatically update citation itemData in metadata container and re-format citations in body in opened notes
- Reorganize note metadata container handling and improve resistance to accidentally breaking it in further development
- Improve performance when typing in larger notes
- Rewrite note saving mechanism to support automatic note changes and reduce complexity for further development
- Cleanup and comment some core parts or note-editor as the preparation for further development
- Prepopulate quickFormat dialog with the currently opened PDF parent #1984 (doesn't include the currently scrolled page label yet)
