Description

Adds a shared useTextInput hook that provides cursor position tracking and standard terminal editing shortcuts across all text input components. Also adds j/k keyboard navigation to list selection.

Problem

Text inputs in the TUI only supported appending characters and deleting from the end. Users couldn't move the cursor or edit text in the middle - a common frustration when fixing typos.

Solution

Created a centralized useTextInput hook that handles:

  • Cursor position state
  • All keyboard input processing
  • Standard editing shortcuts

Supported Shortcuts

ShortcutAction
← / →Move cursor one character
Ctrl+AJump to start of line
Ctrl+EJump to end of line
Ctrl+WDelete previous word
Ctrl+UDelete to start of line
Ctrl+KDelete to end of line
BackspaceDelete character before cursor

Components Updated

  • TextInput - All text fields now support cursor movement
  • SecretInput - Cursor movement with smart masking (shows actual value when editing, partial reveal when done)
  • HelpScreen - Command filter input now supports cursor movement

List Navigation

Added j/k keyboard navigation to useListNavigation and useMultiSelectNavigation hooks. These are standard keys used in less, man, gmail, slack, etc. Automatically disabled when a text input
is focused via the textInputActive option.

Testing

  • Build passes
  • Manual testing of all shortcuts in Commands menu, Add screens, and text inputs
  • Filtering behavior preserved (typing filters commands list)
  • Escape/Enter/arrow navigation still works
  • j/k navigation works on selection screens
  • j/k disabled when text input is active

Add useTextInput hook with cursor position tracking and standard
editing shortcuts across all text input components.
Supported shortcuts:
- ←/→: Move cursor
- Ctrl+A/E: Jump to start/end
- Ctrl+W: Delete previous word
- Ctrl+U: Delete to start
- Ctrl+K: Delete to end
Components updated:
- TextInput: cursor movement in all text fields
- SecretInput: cursor movement, smart masking (reveal when done typing)
- HelpScreen: cursor movement in command filter
Add onChange callback to useTextInput hook and use it in SecretInput
to clear validation error when user types, matching previous behavior.

Description

Adds a shared useTextInput hook that provides cursor position tracking and standard terminal editing shortcuts across all text input components. Also adds j/k keyboard navigation to list selection.

Problem

Text inputs in the TUI only supported appending characters and deleting from the end. Users couldn't move the cursor or edit text in the middle - a common frustration when fixing typos.

Solution

Created a centralized useTextInput hook that handles:

  • Cursor position state
  • All keyboard input processing
  • Standard editing shortcuts

Supported Shortcuts

ShortcutAction
← / →Move cursor one character
Ctrl+AJump to start of line
Ctrl+EJump to end of line
Ctrl+WDelete previous word
Ctrl+UDelete to start of line
Ctrl+KDelete to end of line
BackspaceDelete character before cursor

Components Updated

  • TextInput - All text fields now support cursor movement
  • SecretInput - Cursor movement with smart masking (shows actual value when editing, partial reveal when done)
  • HelpScreen - Command filter input now supports cursor movement

List Navigation

Added j/k keyboard navigation to useListNavigation and useMultiSelectNavigation hooks. These are standard keys used in less, man, gmail, slack, etc. Automatically disabled when a text input
is focused via the textInputActive option.

Testing

  • Build passes
  • Manual testing of all shortcuts in Commands menu, Add screens, and text inputs
  • Filtering behavior preserved (typing filters commands list)
  • Escape/Enter/arrow navigation still works
  • j/k navigation works on selection screens
  • j/k disabled when text input is active

Thanks for standardizing this

Add useTextInput hook with cursor position tracking and standard
editing shortcuts across all text input components.
Supported shortcuts:
- ←/→: Move cursor
- Ctrl+A/E: Jump to start/end
- Ctrl+W: Delete previous word
- Ctrl+U: Delete to start
- Ctrl+K: Delete to end
Components updated:
- TextInput: cursor movement in all text fields
- SecretInput: cursor movement, smart masking (reveal when done typing)
- HelpScreen: cursor movement in command filter
Add onChange callback to useTextInput hook and use it in SecretInput
to clear validation error when user types, matching previous behavior.
