Summary

Related to #2854. Add a runnable example where Shift+F10 or the Context Menu key opens actions at the current caret. A visible button offers the same entry point. Escape/Tab return to editing; Tab retains its native indentation behavior in the editor.

Rationale

Make the interaction concrete before choosing a library-wide shortcut or API. Preserve editing behavior while providing a discoverable entry point and predictable focus recovery.

Changes

Use BlockNote's BlockPopover, public editor APIs and existing Mantine primitives/styles. Demonstrate insert, nested duplicate with fresh IDs, and delete with a surviving caret target. Guard read-only, multi-block selections and IME composition. Explain unsupported selections beside the disabled action and recover when selection collapses. Reuse an existing Mantine provider when embedded and supply it when standalone. Load the same global Mantine styles as the playground so external demo controls are styled in a standalone app, and use default foreground text for readable instructions/status. The three keyboard menu items use Mantine's existing always-visible focus style so initial focus remains visible across browser heuristics. Register the canonical generated example and its workspace importer; add six browser regressions.

Impact

This changes the example gallery only. The default hover side menu and library shortcuts remain unchanged. Full menu parity, other adapters, localization and the final API need maintainer agreement; this example does not resolve the complete library-level issue.

Testing

On e5e30798e4a74b55ed7c5158762027b5f30108a2, all 18/18 focused cases pass in Linux Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with zero retries/skips. The tests render App directly and cover first-item focus, exact caret restoration, native Tab/Shift+Tab indentation, nested identities, delete/Undo, unsupported selection/read-only behavior and all menu bounds at 390×844.

The final run uses the unmodified official Docker wrapper, Dockerfile and repository engine/setup definitions, with real Typst compiler outputs and no configuration overlay. Verified command:

pnpm e2e keyboard-block-actions --retry=0 --maxWorkers=1

Formatting, whole-tree type-aware lint, and scoped example/test lint pass. Root lint excludes examples, so App was additionally checked through a source-identical copy resolving the same example dependencies and source aliases. The new test was linted directly. All 18 library packages plus shared declarations build, including the real Rust/WASM Typst compiler; the standalone example's official production build also passes. Core and React unit tests pass 797 cases with nine existing skips. pnpm 11.8 frozen installation and the official browser-image build pass; the lockfile adds only this example's importer.

The official existing-docs generation/link-validation task passes with zero errors. This bounded proposal is registered in the playground with docs: false; it does not publish a new website docs page. Additional combined-checkout validation passes all 15 native unit tasks with caches disabled (2,146 tests, 286 existing skips) after the separate encoded-asset-path repair in #3110; that repair is not included in this example patch. Screen-reader, native IME/device verification and the full existing browser/exporter matrix remain unrun.

Screenshots/Video

Six additional Linux visual scenarios pass across the three browsers in light/dark mode with reduced motion. All 12 captures were directly inspected. The existing Mantine focus outline is visible in each engine; computed status/instruction contrast is 21:1 in light mode and 9.374:1 in dark mode. These are scoped measurements, not a full accessibility audit.

Checklist

  • Code follows the project's coding standards (scoped validation).
  • Browser regressions covering the example have been added.
  • All existing tests pass (the complete browser/exporter matrix was not run).
  • The documentation has been updated to reflect the new example.

Additional Notes

Maintainer direction is requested before turning this bounded example into default behavior.

AI-assisted implementation and validation with OpenAI Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a playground example demonstrating keyboard-accessible block actions for a single selected block in editable content.
    • Open the menu with Shift+F10 or the Context Menu key, then navigate actions to add, duplicate, or delete a block.
    • Demonstrates nested-block support and preserving caret, focus, indentation, and undo behavior. Unsupported selections and read-only editors do not trigger the shortcut.
  • Tests

    • Added end-to-end coverage for keyboard access, focus restoration, block actions and undo, unsupported selections, and narrow layouts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a runnable Keyboard Block Actions example. The example opens a block menu with keyboard shortcuts and provides add, duplicate, and delete actions. The pull request also registers the example, adds interaction documentation and end-to-end tests, and updates source paths in example Vite configurations.

Updates core-source checks and package aliases to resolve from three levels above the example configuration. Existing alias-selection conditions remain in place.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 69c40

No concrete merge-blocking regression is established in the example behavior, registration, or corrected source paths.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 69c40

The reviewed changes affect examples and their generation rather than the library’s production behavior. No new security issue was identified in the reviewed paths, but the broader security coverage is incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The reviewed Vite change redirects example development imports to fixed monorepo package sources; it does not add a user-controlled resolver value or change the configured build-mode path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The HTML template continues to place the project title in a React text child rather than raw HTML. Its raw script content is a fixed comment present before this change.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The example handles a target removed while the menu is open and checks that the target still exists before editing. Its source does not establish atomic recovery for every interruption between an edit and caret restoration.

🟡 Minor · Resolve live-source aliases from the repository root. · vite.config.ts:10-35

examples/03-ui-components/21-keyboard-block-actions/vite.config.ts:10-35
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve live-source aliases from the repository root.

From this example directory, ../../packages/core/src resolves to examples/packages/core/src, not packages/core/src. The existence check therefore returns false during vite development, and the config uses no aliases. Imports then use package resolution instead of the live core and react sources, so source changes do not use the intended live reload workflow.

Update the template and regenerate this file.

Suggested fix
-      !fs.existsSync(path.resolve(__dirname, "../../packages/core/src"))
+      !fs.existsSync(path.resolve(__dirname, "../../../packages/core/src"))
...
-              "../../packages/core/src/"

Corrected the generated example Vite aliases to resolve monorepo packages from each example root. Alias checks and targeted lint pass locally; a full example build remains unverified because prebuilt package types are missing in this checkout.
