This proposal seeks to enhance user experience and simplify navigation in Board by:

  1. Hiding Advanced Options for Basic Users
    Just as the "Design Mode (F4)" option is hidden for users without access, other advanced options tailored for power users or administrators should also be hidden for basic users. For example, several options currently visible to Lite users without special permissions are irrelevant to their role and can lead to confusion. Here are some examples of options disabled but visible by a Lite user:
  2. Enhancing and Customizing the Keyboard Shortcuts Pane
    The "Keyboard Shortcuts" pane currently focuses on developer-oriented shortcuts, but it could be expanded to include universally useful shortcuts, such as the "ESC" functionality, which benefits all users. Additionally, the pane could be tailored to show shortcuts relevant to the user's role or permissions. For example:
  • Basic Users: Display shortcuts for navigation and common actions.
  • Power Users: Include shortcuts for advanced features, like toggling between modes or object configurations.

By implementing these changes, Board can provide a cleaner, role-specific interface while ensuring useful features like keyboard shortcuts are accessible to everyone.
