Windows key toggle left-hand navigation bar in Documentation theme.

XMLWordPrintable

      Description

      When using the Documentation theme, by default "[" will toggle the left-hand navigation bar. However, the Windows key between the Ctrl and Alt will toggle left-hand navigation bar also.

      While this does not effect the functionality of Confluence, but it is actually quite annoying, as some users will use the Windows key to bring up the start menu, and at the same time, toggle the navigation bar.

      This happen in:

      • Firefox
      • Internet Explorer
      • Chrome


      Steps To Reproduce
      1. Set the theme to Documentation theme, either globally or space.
      2. Visit any page and press the Windows key in between Ctrl and Alt.
      3. Watch the magic happen.


      Workaround

      Changing the assigned shortcut key resolves this issue. To do so, modify the below property in C:\confluence\data\bundled-plugins\confluence-keyboard-shortcuts-3.5.5.jar\atlassian-plugin.xml

      <description key="admin.keyboard.shortcut.toggle.navigation.panel.desc">Toggle Navigation Panel</description>
        <shortcut>[</shortcut>

      Replace [ with * (or whatever your desired shortcut key is).

      Save the modified jar file and re-package C:Program Files\Atlassian\confluence-3.5.5-std\confluence\WEB-INF\atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip with the modified confluence-keyboard-shortcuts-3.5.5.jar.

      It is important to re-package modifications in to atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip, as any discrepancies between installed jar files and this file would be overwritten with content of this zip file.
