Is there a keyboard shortcut to jump to the Comment Box or workaround?

Question

Hello all

Trello is pretty nice to use with keyboard shortcuts, allowing a lot of control without using the mouse (the insane "c" to archive shortcut should be shot into space tho).

What seems to be missing is the ability to jump to the comment box like on Jira to add a comment ("j" IIRC).  This seems like a fairly obvious thing to add?  This is one of the most common things I do on a card, far more common than e.g. adding a label.

I have a zillion Custom Fields so it's not feasible to tab through.

Any suggestions for workarounds or browser extensions?

Thanks in advance

Sadly a change to Trello seems to have broken this :-(

Hello, JR

Welcome to the community

Currently there's no shortcut for it, you can check all the shortcuts here.

Interesting bookmarklet alternative, thanks for sharing.

I managed to make this JS bookmarklet which does seem to work if you bookmark it (add to URL field).  I shall see if this continues to work!

javascript&colon;(function() { var inputs = document.querySelectorAll('input, textarea'); for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) { if (inputs[i].placeholder.includes("Write a comment")) { inputs[i].focus(); return; } } alert("No input field found with 'Write a comment'.");})();

Even better, I managed to use a browser extension to map a keyboard shortcut to this :-)
