xarmian 6c44291e78 fix(layout): let Cmd+F fall through to browser-native find on item views (BUG-986) (#423)
The layout's global keydown handler unconditionally intercepted Cmd+F
and routed it through a `collectionSearchRequested` boolean that only
the collection list page polled. On item / document views (and any
non-collection page) nothing watched the flag, but `e.preventDefault()`
had already blocked the browser's native find — leaving users with no
way to search inside a document.

Invert the model from "always intercept, broadcast a flag" to "only
intercept when a page registers a handler":

- ui.svelte.ts: replace `collectionSearchRequested` with a
  `collectionSearchHandler` registry exposing
  `registerCollectionSearch` / `unregisterCollectionSearch` /
  `triggerCollectionSearch` / `hasCollectionSearchHandler`.
- +layout.svelte: only `e.preventDefault()` and dispatch when
  `uiStore.hasCollectionSearchHandler` is true; otherwise let Cmd+F
  pass through to the browser.
- [collection]/+page.svelte: register the existing
  filters-open + focus-search behaviour in an `$effect` and unregister
  it via the effect's cleanup so it lives only while the page is
  mounted.

Result: collection list view keeps its existing Cmd+F filter-search
shortcut; item views and any other page get the browser's native find
back. `make check` clean (Go tests, lint, web build, svelte-check 0
errors).

Pad Web UI

SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 frontend for Pad, compiled to static files and embedded into the Go binary.

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # Dev server at localhost:5173 (proxies API to localhost:7777)
npm run build        # Production build to build/
npm run check        # Type checking with svelte-check

When developing, run the Go backend separately with make dev from the project root.

Building for Production

Do not build in isolation. Always use make build from the project root — this builds the web frontend, then compiles the Go binary with the build output embedded via //go:embed.

Stack

  • Svelte 5 with runes ($state, $derived, $effect)
  • SvelteKit 2 with adapter-static (SPA mode)
  • Tiptap block editor with markdown round-trip
  • svelte-dnd-action for drag-and-drop in board/list views
  • SSE for real-time updates
  • TypeScript throughout
