Bricks shortcut for view on frontend - Ctrl + Shift + V

In Bricks 1.9.8 now Preview mode and view on frontend are both different buttons at the top bar.

Bricks introduced a shortcut for view on frontend which is Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V. This shortcut is a bit annoying because the same shortcut is used to paste content without styling. I don’t know about Mac or Linux but in Windows OS it is used to paste content only with no styling.

This shortcut should be changed, because whenever I try to paste content and press Ctrl + Shift + V it opens the preview mode on the frontend.

I would appreciate it if you consider this improvement.

Don’t you mean CMD/CTRL + Shift + V?

But I agree. Hopefully it’s just an oversight.

Yes. I mean CMD/CTRL + shift + V

Fully agree! I was surprised to see the new update hijacking an existing shortcut, especially a common shortcut

I too am finding this frustrating. I now can’t do the normal ‘paste without styles’ shortcut which I use regularly to ensure text is clean of any extra HTML.

Was going to post about this as well. It is frustratingly annoying as pasting without formatting is a personally habit whenever I paste text from other sources into WordPress.

However, we can’t use Ctrl + Shift + R as well as that is the shortcut key for the browser hard reload. Perhaps Ctrl + Shift + F instead.

@timmse Please do reconsider updating this shortcut keys.

Thought it was just me! Same issue here too.

This is already in use (search element settings).

Ctrl + Alt + F will be fine
