Description

The Transmission 3.x web interface can bring up the "add torrent" dialog by pressing u.

I found TrguiNG after being disappointed by the rewritten frontend in 4.0, and I like it a lot.

I would like a keyboard shortcut (preferably a single letter like Transmission itself used to have) to easily add a torrent by link.
Also, the current flow to add a torrent by link is a bit annoying:

  • the input field is not automatically focused when opening the dialog
  • the enter key does not work to confirm the action (seemingly common to all dialogs)

Fixing this should hopefully bring parity with the old reliable web UI. I might attempt it myself, it seems rather straightforward.

Research direction

Start at the add-torrent-by-link dialog and the existing keyboard handling for dialogs. Check how the dialog opens, how its input receives focus, and how confirmation handles Enter. Done means a single-letter shortcut opens the dialog, the link field is focused automatically, and Enter confirms the action consistently.
