Description

An issue with the HotKey behavior in the HoppScotch desktop tool when working with the POST request body. I have noticed a behavior in the HoppScotch desktop tool that seems to be affecting the user experience when working with the POST request body. When I add a body and use the CMD + Enter shortcut to send the request, the request is sent as intended. However, the cursor also moves down in the editor, which creates a bad user experience.

Expecation:

I expect that using CMD + Enter in the body section should trigger the request without moving the cursor down in the editor.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open HoppScotch desktop tool.
Say, Create a POST request.
Add a body in the designated section.
Use CMD + Enter to send the request.

Expected Result:

The request is sent successfully, but the cursor also moves down in the editor, which can be disruptive for debugging and repeated requests.

Steps to reproduce

Create a POST request (Example)
Add body for any specific POST API
Click on CMD + Enter
You would observe a request trigger also the body text editor moves the cursor down.

Recommendation:

It would be ideal if the CMD + Enter shortcut for triggering requests could be modified to exclude the automatic cursor movement in the editor. This adjustment would enhance the user experience and streamline the debugging process.

Note: If there are any settings or preferences that allow users to customize the HotKey behavior or disable the automatic cursor movement. If not, would it be good idea to consider implementing this customization feature?.
