YouTrack vi keyboard navigation (j/k and h/l)
Youtrack is an awesome bug tracker. One of it’s best features is that it can be (almost) entirely keyboard driven.
Unfortunately – Jetbrains in their wisdom did not adopt god’s designated keys for moving up and down lists j/k – instead opting to use the cursor keys – forcing users to move their hands from the home row. This has been requested and turned down by the team in JT-565 and JT-5687.
I’m a long standing user of Gmail which uses j/k for moving up and down the list of messages – and it’s difficult to have to go back to moving my hands around. After a couple of days – I decided that a greasemonkey script was called for.
No warranty is implied or given – but this works for me (at least a little bit): youtrackvi.user.js
You’ll need to update the @match with your local youtrack url.
