There are some features in Flyspray, which are not visible on first sight.
Flyspray offers printing functions for both the task list and the task details page. You may wonder where they are.
Simply go to “File → Print” or “File → Print Preview” - yes, I'm talking about the menu of your web browser. The page will then automagically have a layout which is suitable for printing. You are probably not used to that because most websites (even though it is comparatively easy to implement) do not offer that feature, unfortunately.
You can quick edit a task in the task list and details view with double click on a table cell and you can open the task edit page instead of details page from the task list with Alt + click table row.
Yes, Flyspray has a little more than just plain text formatting. You can set
syntax_plugin="dokuwiki"
in flyspray.conf.php to enable Dokuwiki syntax which allows you to embed images, add tables, lists or simply bold and italics text. The name of this setting suggests that you can use even more plugins. Well, you can create your own syntax plugins, but at this time no other one exists. Note that it is still experimental and thus subject to change.
In the admin area you can set a resolution for duplicate tasks (1.0), in 0.9.9 you can only use the given resolution reason “Duplicate” 1). If you then close a task with this resolution and add the task ID (that is “FS#123” or “bug 123”) of the original task in the closure comment, the task will automatically be added to the duplicate tasks list of the original task.
On top of that, it will cause that the user who opened the (duplicate) task votes for the original task automatically.
Note that each browser needs a different key combination for access keys. Firefox for example uses Alt + Shift + KEY.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| n | Next page or task |
| p | Previous page or task |
| m | Open “My searches” |
| s | Save edited task or new task |
| r | Go to the comment text area |
| w | Watch or unwatch a task |
| y | Easily Close the task |
| t | Go into the “Show task ID” box |
| q | Go into the search query field |
| l | Logout or login |
| a | Add a new task |
Well, these work like access keys. However, you don't need a key combo - simply push the key.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| j | Move down on the task list |
| k | Move up on the task list |
| o | Open current task |
| u | Go back to the task list |
You cannot only use the “show task ID” box to open a task. If you enter a non-numeric value, it will initiate a search for this word.
If you want to search for a phrase which consists of multiple words, replace spaces with +. Example: “my search” (without quotes) will search for tasks which contain “my” or “search”, “my+search” will search for tasks which contain “my search”.
