1. Toolbarbuttons changes:
1. “New Library” moved from toolbar to File menu
2. “New note” on click makes a standalone note
3. “New attachment” on click adds stored copy of a file
4. Menuitems from old note or attachment menus moved to the File menu
5. “Advanced search” removed. Sync and Locate buttons moved to the top-right corner (Locate - temporarily)
6. Added “Opened tabs” toolbarbutton
7. Updated tooltips
2. Added a toolbarbutton that reveals collection search field on click. Search field is hidden on blur if empty. Keyboard accessibility via tab/shift-tab.
3. Tab based navigation restructuring. For each component, create a mapping of target ids with desired focus destination for each relevant keyboard event and use that to determine where to move focus next. Fixed bugs with focus wraparound not working when a note or attachment is opened in contextMenu.
4. Make quick-search dropmarker a sibling of the textfield. QuickSearchTextbox does not extend search-textfield anymore. It serves as a container to house dropmarker and textfield as siblings. This is needed to remove focus ring from quick search textbook when focus moves onto the dropmarker.
5. Separate toolbars for item and collection trees. Removed unused code manually setting the width of toolbar section
6. Focusable tabs + keyboard navigation:
1. Shift-tab from opened tabs menu moves focus to the currently opened tab
2. When a tab has focus, use left/right arrows to select tabs, or CMD/Ctrl + arrows to move focus between tabs
3. Enter or Space on a focused tab will select it if needed and move focus to the contentPane of the reader of this tab
4. Shift-tab from tabs wraps focus around to itemTree or itemPane
7. “New collection” creates collection contextually within currently selected library or collection.
8. Items pane minimum width increase to avoid quicksearch from being squashed
9. Do not move focus to title field of itemBox after itemTypeMenu is closed with ESC.
10. Display all itemTypes without "Show more" submenu in "New Item" meunu. Removed "Store Copy of File" and "Link to File" from "New Item" menu.
Fixes various logic around what gets selected when collections and
searches are moved to or restored from the trash (which has never been
exposed) or when they're erased
- 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
