📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The rich editor now handles Alt+ArrowUp and Alt+ArrowDown to move structural selections and list items. Movement plans preserve selection, handle nested containers, and remove emptied source containers when applicable. Tests cover movement order, nesting, and document boundaries.

Changes

Rich editor block movement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve movement units and destinations
docs/spec/block-moving.md, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/plugins/KeyboardControlsPlugin/blockNavigation.ts
The specification describes selection normalization, valid destinations, recursive edge promotion, cleanup, and selection preservation. The planner resolves structural selections and list-item moves, including nested destinations.
Apply moves and handle keyboard input
packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/plugins/KeyboardControlsPlugin/blockNavigation.ts, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/plugins/KeyboardControlsPlugin/KeyboardControlsPlugin.ts
The executor validates destinations, moves nodes, cleans up emptied source ancestors when applicable, and restores the selection snapshot. The keyboard plugin handles successfully applied plans and scrolls the focused node for tagged movement updates.
Validate block movement
packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/__tests__/interactions/navigation.dom.test.ts, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/__tests__/spec/navigation.browser.test.ts
Tests cover paragraph and selection movement, lists and nested lists, quotes, mixed selections, document boundaries, and cursor retention after a move.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 744ac

The movement implementation’s previously reported empty-list issue appears fixed. Two test-quality concerns remain, but neither establishes a current movement failure; the PR is mergeable with follow-up on those tests.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 744ac

The movement is confined to the editor in the inspected code, and no new service or privilege boundary was identified. The remaining risk is uncertainty about how moves behave in read-only mode and how interrupted moves interact with saving and undo.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The observed movement sources and destinations come from the active editor’s selection and tree. The inspected path identifies no cross-note input, privileged sink, or new service dependency; downstream persistence scope was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Range-selection and destination checks gate the move, and the editor has a separate read-only control. Whether keyboard commands reach this handler while the editor is non-editable was not established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A failed plan is rejected before relocation, but recovery from an exception during a successful plan and the effect of undo on tree and selection are not established by the inspected integration.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Verify read-only keyboard dispatch and undo/save behavior for moves, including repeated input and interrupted relocation; explicitly gate the command on editability if the editor can dispatch it while read-only.

211-212: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the moved item’s destination parent.

The DOM test checks only list-item order after ArrowDown. It can pass if Nested item becomes a top-level item after Simple item or moves under the wrong parent. The browser test checks containment, so add the same assertion here. Add the reverse containment assertion after ArrowUp.

Suggested fix
 	expect(itemsAfterDown[1]).toHaveTextContent('Simple item');
 	expect(itemsAfterDown[2]).toHaveTextContent('Nested item');
+	expect(itemsAfterDown[1]).toContainElement(itemsAfterDown[2]);
...
 	expect(itemsAfterUp[1]).toHaveTextContent('Nested item');
 	expect(itemsAfterUp[2]).toHaveTextContent('Simple item');
+	expect(itemsAfterUp[0]).toContainElement(itemsAfterUp[1]);
