There are two diffrent full screen editors

[janw.oostendorp]

In the WP editor there is a full screen button. It has shortcut ALT+SHIFT+G. When the button is pressed it shows a different full screen editor then when the shortcut is used.

I tried this on multiple 3.4.1 installations, one of them had no plugins to interfere.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, maybe it is intended.
If so can someone explain why?

Confirmed. Looks like alt+shift+g brings up the TinyMCE fullscreen editor instead of the WordPress fullscreen (distraction-free) editor - not sure what the right command is to bind to that key combo instead, if there is one, or else I'd try patching it :)

I think I've found a related bug:

1. Press Alt + Shift + G.
2. In the opened window, press "Toggle fullscreen mode" button. Nothing happens.
3. Press Alt + Shift + G once again. The DFW editor shows up.
4. "Exit fullscreen" link doesn't work. There's an error message in JS console:

Error: edd is undefined

@Sergey I also saw that but first I wanted to make sure it was a bug

Currently there are several problems with the shortcuts in the editors. One is that Firefox uses Alt + Shift + letter for the accesskey HTML attribute and it's no longer possible to overwrite/prevent that default. Another is that in the latest version TinyMCE has different/new API for handling key strokes (still working out few bugs there).

Thinking it would be best to redo all custom shortcuts we add in TinyMCE avoiding all browser limitations even if they would be different for different browsers (the shortcuts are already different for MacOS and Windows).

TinyMCE: update the keyboard shortcuts: Alt + letter for Firefox and WebKit, Alt + Shift + letter for IE and Opera, add shortcut for DFW (Alt + W), see #21214, fixes #21197, fixes #17992

comment:2 is still an issue.

Tested in Firefox 13, Chrome 20, IE 8, Opera 12. In Opera, a blank window with a scrollbar appears in step 3 instead of the DFW editor.

TinyMCE: add the Alt + W shortcut only when DFW is loaded and Alt + G only when MCE fullscreen is loaded, fixes #21197

In some languages Alt + letter is used regularly to type characters like ç (Alt+C), ł (Alt+l), ż (Alt+z), etc.

In that terms I'm not sure what shortcuts can be used for the editor buttons. Alt + Shift + letter works in Chrome, IE and Opera but doesn't work in Firefox (it triggers the "accesskey" attributes regardless of whether the element is visible or not).

The only key combination left is Ctrl + Alt + letter (Command + Option + letter on Mac), however that may run into keystroke conflicts too.

For now thinking we should revert to Alt + Shift + letter for Chrome and use Ctrl + Alt + letter (Command + Option + letter) in Firefox for the custom editor shortcuts.

In the long term perhaps we can use the "Keyboard Shortcuts" checkbox in the user profile to turn on/off the shortcuts not only for moderating comments but also for the editor and any other place we may use them as well.

TinyMCE: revert Firefox shortcuts to match all other browsers (Alt+Shift+letter), fix the labels for the shortcuts, update description in wp-mce-help, fixes #21197

#21933 was marked as a duplicate.

TinyMCE help still lists Alt + Shift + G shortcut for non-DFW fullscreen mode:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-mce-help.php?rev=21545#L216

However, unless 'wpfullscreen' plugin is manually disabled via tiny_mce_before_init filter, the shortcut is not registered (since [21272]).

Perhaps the shortcut should still work if 'wpfullscreen' is loaded but not active at the moment. Or should just be removed from help.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:

Think best would be to remove the TinyMCE's fullscreen from the default config. Opened #21976 for that.

Something missing from the discussion so far is the "fullscreen" button in the HTML tab. That button opens DFW. So if a button is being removed from TinyMCE it might make sense to remove it in both places. Or were you fixing the existing button(s)?

What's left to do here? I see #21976 for removing the TinyMCE fullscreen plugin. Anything else?

The button on the Visual tab also opens DFW. What's being removed here is TinyMCE's fullscreen plugin (which has "Alt + Shift + G" shortcut), not the DFW button.

21197.patch​ replaces TinyMCE's fullscreen shortcut in the help window with the one for DFW.

Is it possible to hook up Alt + Shift + G for DFW? That would make a lot more sense to me than removing it. That was how I found DFW in the first place, along with its many related keyboard shortcuts.

DFW has its own shortcut, Alt + Shift + W.

Alt + Shift + W does not work, version 3.4.2. Is it a trunk only feature?

Yes, added as Alt + W in [21266], changed to Alt + Shift + W in [21415].

This has been fixed by [21266] and [21415].

Remove the Alt + Shift + G (old fullscreen mode) shortcut from the TinyMCE help popup, props SergeyBiryukov, see #21197
