Decision 1 keeps the unmodified single-key bindings, and Settings was the only place they were written down — three of the four categories of them, because config-page listed the categories by hand, so the autotag keys were written down nowhere at all. `?` now opens an overlay from anywhere the app owns the keyboard, and both surfaces read one table (services/shortcut-meta.ts, moved out of config-page's private static). The other half is the same explanation from the other side. Phase 1 gave the arrow keys to the grid, correctly — but all six of them, and no list in this app moves horizontally: track-list's own handler and utils/roving-rows both take Up/Down/Home/End and ignore Left/Right. So seeking stopped working from a focused row and nothing gained the keys. Reproduced in the running app: two ArrowRights on a focused track row, zero Player.Seek calls, against one per press from the body. A shifted character no longer reports Shift, so the binding is `?` and not `Shift+?` — the character already carries the shift, and a layout where it does not is a layout where "Shift+?" is wrong anyway.
YellowJacket Frontend
This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.
Dependencies
There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development
Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails.
You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.
If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules.
Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server.
For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.
Code
Web Components
Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together.
Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.
Typescript
To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.
Important Files and Directories
NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.
