From a previous post, where it was asked to pull into a separate thread:
One other thought I had for a request was jump history so you can navigate around the jump stack. Perhaps there’s a buffer that remembers your row locations so you can navigate back and forth via a menu command.
Let me try explaining again. Right now we have Focus In and Focus Out. A lot of apps will generally have some type of History menu for Navigating Back and Forward:
Ideally, whenever there is a change of focused row, we could keep track of that state in an in memory stack so we can navigate it. Hopefully this clears things up a bit, I think it’d be huge for ux and navigating around larger documents.
When you said “jump history” I associated that with a text editor feature where you designate “marks” and then jump back to them. I’m sure a useful system, but one that I’ve never really understood or used. Web browser style navigation history for focused item makes more sense to me.
I’ve just started playing with the new navigation feature, and I love it. Thank you.
The only thing i’d ask for is a few more letters per parent in the navigation bar. i do get that clicking on a parent gives me the whole downstream tree, but i’d rather just click on the right level in the first place.
I too am loving the breadcrumbs and navigation features! I was curious if it was planned to have mouse side buttons trigger the forward and back behavior like a web browser? That, or maybe a way to bind a keyboard shortcut to those actions?
I didn’t actually know about those buttons. I will be adding menu items, do you know if those buttons can be configured to call a menu item, or maybe I need to handle them specially in my code.
I am unfamiliar with how it is implemented in code, but I have always used Sensible Side Buttons to get this functionality working in native apps like Finder. There are also other apps that support it out of the box like Google Chrome and Slack.
Thanks, it looks like I need to implement 3 finger swipe (left/right) for history navigation, and then Sensible Side Buttons can plug into that system for mouse side buttons.
Has this been implemented yet? I would also love universal bvack & forward functionality. Most Web-apps / electrons etc do this and navigating back & forward like this in Obsidian is pretty handy.
Linear Mouse allows to set the mouse buttons to the uniserval mode, done by touchpad, but activating this does not work with bike. I use makros now.
Yes, in Bike 2.0 Preview the Go menu has Back and Forward items.
One place I think they are particularly useful is when you start an outline filter a location is recorded right before the filter is applied. So after filtering you can navigate back to exactly where you were before, with focus, scroll position and collapsed rows restored.
And sorry, my question wasnt properly stated: I was wondering, wether Back and Forward can be used via mouse buttons. I had to do a workaround with Linear Mouse to “programm” the keys to input Bike 2s shortcuts cmd ö and cmd ä, but it would be great if it could just work as the mouse buttons 3 and 4 can go Back and Forward in other apps.
(I´ve been going back to bike for my masters today and god it is so smooth I almost forgot about that. Great work, really!)
