Phase 10 Plan 09: Global Keyboard Shortcuts Summary

One-liner: Four global keyboard shortcuts (/, Escape, U, N) wired via App.vue routeViewRef through a defineExpose ref chain: FileManagerView → StorageBrowser → DropZone/SearchBar.

Tasks Completed

Task	Name	Commit	Files
1	Promote keyboard.test.js stubs to 9 RED failing tests	089af90	src/__tests__/keyboard.test.js
2	Plumb ref chain — DropZone + SearchBar + StorageBrowser + FileManagerView	aaa0532	DropZone.vue, SearchBar.vue, StorageBrowser.vue, FileManagerView.vue
3	Add global keydown handler to App.vue + routeViewRef	d7bda3c	App.vue, StorageBrowser.vue

What Was Built

keyboard.test.js: Replaced 11 it.todo stubs with 9 real it() tests grouped across 4 describe blocks (UX-05..UX-08). Tests mount FileManagerView with mocked child components and assert the exposed methods exist and do not throw. All 9 were RED before Task 2 and GREEN after Task 3.

DropZone.vue: Added defineExpose({ triggerInput }) after the existing triggerInput function definition. No other changes.

SearchBar.vue: Added import { ref } from 'vue', declared const inputEl = ref(null), bound ref="inputEl" to the <input> element, and added defineExpose({ focus() { inputEl.value?.focus() } }).

StorageBrowser.vue:

• Added const dropZoneRef = ref(null) and const searchBarRef = ref(null)
• Added ref="dropZoneRef" on <DropZone> and ref="searchBarRef" on <SearchBar>
• Replaced defineExpose({ startNewFolder }) with:

  defineExpose({
    startNewFolder,
    triggerUpload: () => dropZoneRef.value?.triggerInput?.(),
    focusSearch: () => searchBarRef.value?.focus?.(),
    clearSearch: () => emit('search-change', ''),
  })
  

FileManagerView.vue: Added defineExpose block delegating all four methods to browserRef via optional chaining:

defineExpose({
  focusSearch: () => browserRef.value?.focusSearch?.(),
  triggerUpload: () => browserRef.value?.triggerUpload?.(),
  startNewFolder: () => browserRef.value?.startNewFolder?.(),
  clearSearch: () => browserRef.value?.clearSearch?.(),
})

App.vue:

• Added ref and onUnmounted to the imports
• Added const routeViewRef = ref(null)
• Added ref="routeViewRef" on <router-view>
• Added onKeydown handler with activeElement guard and four shortcut branches
• Chained document.addEventListener('keydown', onKeydown) into the existing onMounted
• Added onUnmounted(() => document.removeEventListener('keydown', onKeydown))

Verification Results

Check	Result
vitest run keyboard — 9 tests	PASS (all GREEN)

vitest run StorageBrowser — 4 tests (9 todo)	PASS (no regression)
Full suite: 190 tests, 0 failures, 20 todo	PASS
ref="routeViewRef" in App.vue template	PASS
const routeViewRef = ref(null) in App.vue	PASS
function onKeydown in App.vue	PASS
document.activeElement?.tagName guard	PASS
isContentEditable guard	PASS
e.preventDefault() in / branch	PASS
addEventListener('keydown') + removeEventListener	PASS
All 14 defineExpose acceptance criteria greps	PASS

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Added double optional chaining on StorageBrowser.triggerUpload and focusSearch

• Found during: Task 3
• Issue: dropZoneRef.value?.triggerInput() throws TypeError: triggerInput is not a function in tests when the DropZone stub doesn't expose triggerInput. The ?. guard only prevents calling on null/undefined ref, but triggerInput being undefined on the stub still causes a throw when invoked with ().
• Fix: Changed to dropZoneRef.value?.triggerInput?.() and searchBarRef.value?.focus?.() — double optional chaining silently no-ops when the method is absent.
• Files modified: StorageBrowser.vue
• Commit: d7bda3c

Known Stubs

None.

Threat Flags

None. This plan adds only client-side keyboard event handling and component defineExpose plumbing. No new network endpoints, auth paths, file access, or schema changes.

Self-Check: PASSED

• frontend/src/__tests__/keyboard.test.js — exists, 9 real tests
• frontend/src/App.vue — contains routeViewRef + onKeydown + addEventListener/removeEventListener
• frontend/src/views/FileManagerView.vue — contains defineExpose with all 4 methods
• frontend/src/components/storage/StorageBrowser.vue — contains dropZoneRef, searchBarRef, expanded defineExpose
• frontend/src/components/upload/DropZone.vue — contains defineExpose({ triggerInput })
• frontend/src/components/documents/SearchBar.vue — contains inputEl ref + defineExpose({ focus })
• Commit 089af90 — confirmed in git log (RED tests)
• Commit aaa0532 — confirmed in git log (ref chain)
• Commit d7bda3c — confirmed in git log (App.vue handler)
• No unexpected file deletions
