For app users, it would be amazing if keyboard shortcuts could act as another triggers for app interaction workflows which can now only be triggered via GUI buttons.
Examples:
- Arrows to move between records, screens, or tabs (via go to detail screen)
- Open or close modals / detail views without clicking.
- Shift + S (or similar) to trigger a custom action, even via programmable mice
This would make Glide apps faster, more accessible, and feel closer to professional desktop software.
All it takes: in the interaction workflow editor, allow adding a keyboard shortcut trigger alongside the existing app interaction.
Would love to hear if others would use this!
