Description

This PR fixes an issue where pressing Ctrl+Z (Undo) followed by Ctrl+Y (expecting Redo) caused the entire JSON document to fold and collapse.

In CodeEditor components across the app, 'Ctrl-Y' and 'Cmd-Y' were explicitly mapped to 'foldAll' in CodeMirror's extraKeys. On Windows and Linux, Ctrl+Y is the standard OS-level shortcut for Redo. Overriding Ctrl-Y broke Redo functionality and caused unexpected document folding.

Problem

Fixes #9289

When editing JSON (or XML/text) in the request body editor, pressing Ctrl+Z to undo a change and then pressing Ctrl+Y to redo it triggered CodeMirror's foldAll command, collapsing the entire document.

Fix

  1. Removed 'Ctrl-Y' and 'Cmd-Y' from extraKeys in CodeMirror components (CodeEditor, ApiSpecPanel/FileEditor/CodeEditor, FileEditor/CodeEditor, and MultiLineEditor), restoring native redo functionality.
  2. Consolidated fold toggling into 'Ctrl-I' and 'Cmd-I' using a smart toggleDocumentFold helper that checks if any line is folded (unfolding all if folded lines exist, or folding all if none exist).
  3. Added --no-sandbox to Electron dev script for Linux development compatibility.

Walkthrough

Four CodeMirror editors now use Ctrl-I and Cmd-I to toggle all folds. Ctrl-Y and Cmd-Y no longer control folding. The Electron development script now includes --no-sandbox.

Detect existing folds across each complete line.

cm.isFolded(CodeMirror.Pos(i, 0)) only checks a marker at column zero. CodeMirror brace folds begin after the opening delimiter, so existing JSON folds are not detected. Each handler runs foldAll instead of unfoldAll, which fails the new fold-toggle behavior. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Electron 37 documentation --no-sandbox command line switch BrowserWindow webPreferences sandbox default renderer sandbox enabled by default

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In Electron 37, the renderer process sandbox is enabled by default [1][2]. The behavior and configuration of the sandbox are summarized as follows: Default Behavior The sandbox option in the BrowserWindow webPreferences structure has defaulted to true since Electron 20 [1][3]. When enabled, this secures the renderer process using the Chromium OS-level sandbox and disables the Node.js engine for that process [1]. Disabling the Sandbox There are several ways to disable or influence sandboxing: 1. Per-Process: You can disable the sandbox for a specific BrowserWindow by setting the sandbox: false preference in the webPreferences object [4][5]. 2. Node.js Integration: Enabling Node.js integration (e.g., by setting nodeIntegration: true in webPreferences) automatically disables the sandbox for that renderer process [1][2]. 3. Global Command Line Flag: The --no-sandbox command line switch can be used to disable the Chromium sandbox entirely for all processes, including renderer and utility processes [4][6][2]. Official documentation strongly advises that this flag should only be used for testing purposes and never in a production environment [6][2]. For additional security, you can use the app.enableSandbox API, which forces sandboxing for all renderers; this must be called before the app&#39;s ready event [4][5].

The sandbox limits the harm that malicious code can cause by limiting access to most system resources — sandboxed processes can only freely use CPU cycles and memory. In order to perform operations requiring additional privilege, sandboxed processes use dedicated communication channels to delegate tasks to more privileged processes. In Chromium, sandboxing is applied to most processes other than the main process. This includes renderer processes, as well as utility processes such as the audio service, the GPU service and the network service. See Chromium&`#39`;s Sandbox design document for more information. Starting from Electron 20, the sandbox is enabled for renderer processes without any further configuration. If you want to disable the sandbox for a process, see the Disabling the sandbox for a single process section. ## Sandbox behavior in Electron​ Sandboxed processes in Electron behave mostly in the same way as Chromium&`#39`;s do, but Electron has a few additional concepts to consider because it interfaces with Node.js. ### Renderer processes​ When renderer processes in Electron are sandboxed, they behave in the same way as a regular Chrome renderer would. A sandboxed renderer won&`#39`;t have a Node.js environment initialized. Therefore, when the sandbox is enabled, renderer processes can only perform privileged tasks (such as interacting with the filesystem, making changes to the system, or spawning subprocesses) by delegating these tasks to the main process via inter-process communication (IPC). note For more info on inter-process communication, check out our IPC guide. ### Preload scripts​ In order to allow renderer processes to communicate with the main process, preload scripts attached to sandboxed renderers will still have a polyfilled subset of Node.js APIs available. A `require` function similar to Node&`#39`;s `require` module is exposed, but can only import a subset of Electron and Node&`#39`;s built-in modules: - `electron` (following renderer process modules: `contextBridge`, `crashReporter`, `ipcRenderer`, `nativeImage`, `webFrame`, `webUtils`) - `eventos` - `timers` - `url` node: imports are supported as well: - `node:events` - `node:timers` - `node:url` In addition, the preload script also polyfills certain Node.js primitives as globals: - `Buffer` - `process` - `clearImmediate` - `setImmediate` Because the `require` function is a polyfill with limited functionality, you will not be able to use CommonJS modules to separate your preload script into multiple files. If you need to split your preload code, use a bundler such as webpack or Parcel. Note that because the environment presented to the `preload` script is substantially more privileged than that of a sandboxed renderer, it is still possible to leak privileged APIs to untrusted code running in the renderer process unless `contextIsolation` is enabled. ## Configuring the sandbox​ For most apps, sandboxing is the best choice. In certain use cases that are incompatible with the sandbox (for instance, when using native node modules in the renderer), it is possible to disable the sandbox for specific processes. This comes with security risks, especially if any untrusted code or content is present in the unsandboxed process. ### Disabling the sandbox for a single process​ In Electron, renderer sandboxing can be disabled on a per-process basis with the `sandbox: false` preference in the `BrowserWindow` constructor. main.js ```js app.whenReady().then(() => { const win = new BrowserWindow({ webPreferences: { sandbox: false } }) win.loadURL(&`#39`;https://google.com&`#39`;)}) ``` Sandboxing is also disabled whenever Node.js integration is enabled in the renderer. This can be done through the BrowserWindow constructor with the `nodeIntegration: true` flag. main.js ```js app.whenReady().then(() => { const win = new Brow…[truncated]

Do not disable the Chromium sandbox for the OAuth window.

packages/bruno-electron/package.json:15 applies --no-sandbox to the entire Electron development process. Electron 37 enables renderer sandboxing by default when nodeIntegration is false, which is the configuration used by authorize-user-in-window.js. However, --no-sandbox disables Chromium sandboxing for all processes, including this window.

The OAuth window loads the caller-provided remote authorizeUrl, so remote OAuth content runs without this containment boundary during development. Remove --no-sandbox from the shared command. If Linux requires a workaround, restrict it to a Linux-specific launch path.

@ArpanMondalGITHUB the {<->} icon itself isn't a bug, that's just CodeMirror's built-in indicator when text is folded.

The real problem was that Ctrl+Y (which is normally Redo on Windows/Linux) was mapped to fold everything. So when you pressed Ctrl+Z to undo and then Ctrl+Y to redo your text, it folded the JSON instead of redoing your changes.

Now Ctrl+Y is back to standard Redo, and Ctrl+I is used to fold/unfold.

Thanks for the PR @CharanMunur !

I'd let our team review and get back. In general, we'd want to stay close to the VSCode behaviour and provide overrides in keybindings settings if people expect a different behavior.
