Added shortcut key "ctrl + s" for saving projects on the go.

PR Description

Added a KeyboardListner which detects key strokes to look for any "ctrl + s" keystrike in a textFeild which in turn triggers the save button to provide ease of use.

• Yes
• No, and this is why: As this does not interfere with any already written feature and only reuses them

[Rupamthxt]

Looks great with the save functionality moved to the utils section for further reuse.

The current approach is not the best.
You should take a look at shortcuts and actions available in MaterialApp.

I did but that has the same issue, whenever you are within a text field it works fine but apart from that ctrl + s is not detected. I tried using an arrow key and that works just fine.

[ashitaprasad]

Did you try the approach on a simple flutter app first?

[Rupamthxt]

I tried implementing in this app itself, but will try on a simple app and give an update accordingly.

[ashitaprasad]

@Rupamthxt I have updated the code .. You can investigate why it is not working and make any improvements that work in the DesktopDashboard() widget.
Do not modify the Dashboard() widget.

[Rupamthxt]

@ashitaprasad Alright! Will take care of that

[Rupamthxt]

@ashitaprasad Just found out the issue was due to problems with the focus of widgets, fixed it there. Now ctrl + s works from everywhere.

@Rupamthxt In my last comment I had clearly specified not to modify the Dashboard() widget.
Why have you not made the changes in the DesktopDashboard() widget?

[Rupamthxt]

@ashitaprasad I think I misunderstood it. Working on it. But adding the FocusScope() to DesktopDashboard() is not handling the keyStrokes correctly. Is it possible to keep the FocusScope() inside the Dashboard() widget ?

[ashitaprasad]

Update the PR with what is currently working at your end with minimal changes to Dashboard() widget.

[Rupamthxt]

@ashitaprasad This is the most minimal change that could have been done.

[ashitaprasad]

Launch app -> Ctrl+S -> Save works
Click on a Request -> Click on three dots -> click rename -> rename request -> click outside -> Ctrl+S -> Save does not work.

[Rupamthxt]

This works on my end. I tested the build version as well.

[ashitaprasad]

It is not working on macOS. What is your OS?

[Rupamthxt]

I develop on windows.
