Ctrl+S on Panel - Saving - Block Modals (Kirby 3 vs 4/5)

Hi everyone,

In previous Kirby 3 versions, a user could save a page using Ctrl+S in the background without having to close all open (block) modals. For me, this was very helpful and fast.

Now, in Kirby 5 and 4, pressing Ctrl+S first closes all open modals before saving the page. Depending on how blocks are used, this requires triggering the shortcut multiple times. Even more time-consuming is that I then need to reopen all previously opened block modals.

Is there an alternative method or workaround to save a page without closing all open modals?

Thanks for your help,
Christian

Thanks for asking, I never cared to write/ask myself but always found it a bit tedious to use. So I’m curious about the why here, too.

In theory, you could implement a custom save action via the API.

Looks like no one else but us is bothered by it so far :slight_smile:

I’ve already tried something similar, but somehow I couldn’t disable the default behavior with the closing modals. But I didn’t spend a lot of time on it, so maybe I’ll give it another shot.
