Analysis and Implementation of Quick-assign Behavior Selection Enhancement

  • Explored the repository structure and understood the codebase
  • Identified the behavior selection interface accessed when clicking on behaviors (e.g., &kp) in the keymap editor
  • Found that commonly used behaviors like &trans and &none were positioned at the end of the selection list
  • Located the relevant behaviors: &trans (transparent) and &none (no action) in zmk-behaviors.json
  • Set up test environment and verified current behavior through UI

Implementation Completed:

  • Modified the behavior ordering in Keyboard.js to prioritize common behaviors
  • Reordered behaviors to show &trans, &none, and &kp at the top of the selection list
  • Tested the functionality to ensure proper behavior selection and assignment
  • Ensured backward compatibility with existing behavior selection interface

Current Behavior:

  • Common behaviors (&trans, &none) were buried at the end of a 19-item list
  • Users had to scroll or search to find frequently used behaviors for quick assignment

Improved Behavior:

  • &trans (transparent), &none (no action), and &kp (key press) now appear at the top of the behavior selection list
  • Users can quickly access the most commonly used behaviors without scrolling
  • All other behaviors remain available in their original order after the prioritized ones

Changes Made:

  • Modified searchTargets in app/src/Keyboard/Keyboard.js to reorder behaviors with commonly used ones first
  • Prioritized behaviors: &trans, &none, &kp
  • Maintained full functionality of the existing behavior selection interface

The enhancement makes the "Quick &kp Assignment" interface more efficient by surfacing the most frequently used behaviors for layer keybinding assignments.

I searched the entire codebase for a UI component named exactly "Quick-assign layer keybinding" or "Quick &kp Assignment" but couldn't find any component with that exact name.

However, I did identify and improve what appears to be the functionality you're referring to: the behavior selection interface that appears when clicking on a behavior (like &kp) in the keymap editor. This interface allows users to quickly assign different behaviors like &trans, &none, etc. to keys.

I've already implemented the improvement to prioritize common behaviors (&trans, &none, &kp) at the top of the selection list, making them much more accessible for quick assignment.

Could you clarify if you're referring to a different UI component, or provide more specific details about where this "Quick &kp Assignment" interface should be located?
