A Django Admin Keyboard Shortcuts Experiment
Consider this app as an experiment that was abandoned. Do not use it in production. The idea behind this experiment was to provide keyboard shortcuts for your admin site. See "Usage" section below for all implemented shortcuts.
Installation
To get the latest stable release from PyPi
.. code-block:: bash
pip install django-admin-keyboard-shortcuts
To get the latest commit from GitHub
.. code-block:: bash
pip install -e git+git://github.com/arteria/django-admin-keyboard-shortcuts.git#egg=admin_keyboard_shortcuts
There are not further dependencies!
In your project settings, add admin_keyboard_shortcuts to your INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.admin
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'admin_keyboard_shortcuts',
'django.contrib.admin',
...,
)
Optionally, by setting ADMIN_KEYBOARD_SHORTCUTS_HIDE_ICON = True in project settings, the icon that indicates
"shortcut support" will be hidden.
Don't forget to collect the icons
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py collectstatic
