1 - The software works great, really responsive and intuitive once you’ve got the hang of it, but I’ve found an annoying placement and I’m sure I’m not alone in this!
Can we have this button moved down from the top to the bottom please? I can’t even count the amount of time when I’ve clicked it by accident and it can be super frustrating, because it leads you out of the builder…
My usual “solution” for this is to delete the div block from my session under “inspect”, but it too is annoying.
2 - The other thing is hotkeys. They are working great for a given period (usually 10-15 minutes on my sessions) and I have no idea why, but after some time they usually just stop working at all. And, instead of performing let’s say a duplocate action, my browser (using latest chrome on windows) brings me up the “bookmark added” message in response for a ctrl+d combo…
Does anyone know the solution? It’d be super hand, so I don’t have to refresh my page in every 15 minutes (which usually also comes with the removal of the home button.
Thanks a lot in advance, in the name of the entire community! (At least with the first one)
What might be happening there is that the “page content” portion of the browser window - basically, everything below the bookmarks bar - does not have “focus”. In that case, user input is being handled by the browser itself and not the web page.
To test that hypothesis, the next time it happens, try clicking the element on the page again before pressing the “duplicate” hot key to ensure the [key event handler defined by] the Bubble editor processes the input.
That is not going to work I’m afraid. Often when it happens I just don’t refresh the page because I’m in the building too much and carry on putting elements on the designer and still running into the same issue over and over again, until I refresh.
It wasn’t a bad idea, but unfortunately it’s not the case with me.
Thanks though, really appreciate it!
You can create a simple chrome extension to run scripts on every page, install it locally and do whatever you want, e.g. move that button somewhere or hide it completely. I thinkg it’s also possible to introduce your own hotkeys, though I didn’t test it.
P.S. You might be using Safari, I didn’t think about it… Don’t know if this is possible on it.
I wasn’t suggesting it as a permanent solution – just as a way to test my hypothesis.
Out of curiosity, which modifier key are you using?
I ask because on the Mac, both the Command key and Control key work as modifiers for the hot key. I make a conscious effort to use the Control key (even though it’s not as natural as hitting the Command/Apple key) precisely to avoid what you describe. I’m not sure if it’s a similar situation on Windows. (If not, you should probably file a bug report.)
EDIT
One more thing to check if you haven’t already done so… If you’re using any Chrome extensions, temporarily disable them, refresh the editor, and see if the issue persists. If so, a bug report might be in order.
Your problem with the Bubble Home page button is shared.
I’ve developed a chrome extension that fixes this and a few of the other problems introduced to the Bubble editor over the last few weeks! Just testing it a bit more before launching early next week. That issue with Hotkeys isn’t something I’d experienced so I’ll spend some time looking at that / potential fixes.
