The first grab implementation degraded Shift+grab to a quarter-speed
relative crawl — losing the ±5-minute rail the user expects when they
grab the handle with Shift held. The rail is back: Shift+grab anchors
railWindow at the CURRENT position (not the nearest chapter line, and
never teleports the playhead on pointerdown); plain grab stays relative
1:1. GRAB_FINE_SCALE is deleted as dead code, and the dialog guide
documents the restored gesture.
A pointerdown on the scrub bar unconditionally mapped the click X to a
position, so grabbing the handle itself made the playhead jump — worst
with Shift, whose branch force-snapped to the nearest chapter line
before the drag even started. The user's complaint: the handle click
flowed through to the track-click behavior behind it.
The bar now hit-tests the thumb first (GRAB_SLOP_PX, a pixel test like
the chapter magnetism — a seconds threshold goes sub-pixel on long
books). A grab enters a new "grab" drag mode: the position stays where
it is until the pointer moves, then advances RELATIVELY via the new
applyGrab helper (incremental like the touch cursor, fixed scale — the
mouse is always on the bar, so Shift = quarter-speed fine crawl instead
of a pull-away zoom).
Track clicks keep today's behavior exactly: click = jump with chapter
magnetism, Shift+click = nearest chapter line, Shift+drag = precision
rail, touch = incremental pull-away. MOUSE_GUIDE gains the two grab
rows so the dialog documents the gesture; new pure helpers are unit-
tested alongside the existing scrub math.
- A progress sync conflict used to be flagged only inside the progress
card, far down a long page. An unresolved conflict now also renders
a full-width warning strip at the very top (under the app bar) that
opens the same resolution modal on click. Rendered from the same
ActiveConflict the progress section uses — absent when clean.
- Shortcuts dialog Mouse section gains an 'End time' row: click to
cycle total → book left → chapter left (§10's toggle was
undiscoverable).
The Player settings popover gains a 'Default playback speed' row
beside autoplay — a compact rate select, always visible (the Speed ▾
footer hides when current == default, which made the setting
undiscoverable at 1x/1×); same setDefaultSpeed PUT. The shortcuts
dialog splits its pointer section into MOUSE (click/drag/shift/wheel)
and TOUCH (drag/pull-away) — the bar has two scrub systems and the
sections now say so.
Mouse: drag is free-flow 1:1 (rail only on Shift+drag, now with
window from/to edge labels); clicks land with pixel magnetism
(MAGNET_RADIUS_PX=10) — the old 5-second threshold was sub-pixel on
long books and never fired, which was the 'chapter scrub isn't
accurate' bug. Hover inside the radius locks the tooltip to the line
with a highlight. Shift+click jumps to the nearest line from anywhere.
Touch: drag is an incremental cursor (applyDrag) whose scale tightens
continuously as the finger pulls off the bar (dragScale, exponential
10^(-|dy|/80px)) — the rail is the feedback: window shrinks with the
zoom (touchRailSpan) and lifts toward the finger (railLiftPx).
Dialog retitled 'Shortcuts & interactions' with a Mouse & touch
section driven by POINTER_GUIDE (audio-keys.ts). Old seconds-threshold
snapToChapter deleted. 133 unit tests; 19 Playwright checks on the
KJV (1189ch) and Gardens (34ch) books.
Space/Enter (body-focus only), H/L + arrows skip, J/K + PgDn/PgUp
chapter steps, B bookmark capture (note box auto-focuses, Enter saves
even when blank, Shift+Enter inserts a newline, Esc cancels),
Alt+arrows / Alt+H/L speed steps, up/down volume with a brief OSD,
M mute, [ ] skip-duration cycle, ? shortcut dialog, Esc closes the
top-most surface (help → capture → note edit → drawers → dropdowns).
audio-keys.ts is the ONE declarative table: resolveShortcut() drives
the document keydown dispatcher and visibleKeymap() renders the
templ dialog (x-for over the exposed keymap — templ cannot import
TS). Hardware media keys ride the existing MediaSession handlers;
the Media* keydown codes resolve through the same table to the SAME
methods, so both layers stay one behavior.
Guards mirror the ebook reader: typing in any
INPUT/TEXTAREA/contentEditable never triggers shortcuts (bookmark
notes included), a focused button keeps Space/Enter for itself, and
the focused scrubber keeps its arrows (its own @change seeks — a
native arrow nudge moves 0.08s, not a 10s skip).
SKIP_SECONDS consolidates to one const beside SPEEDS (the templ skip
dropdown now iterates skipChoices; [ ] cycles via cycleSkip()) — the
same one-source pattern as the §5 speed-list consolidation.
Unit: audio-keys.test.ts (resolution, Alt disambiguation, media
keys, keymap integrity and conflict-freedom, dialog visibility) and
cycleSkip tests. Live: 39 Playwright checks on the KJV folder book
covering every binding, the guards, dialog and OSD; probe user
created and deleted.
