Bricks 2.4 RC2 adds keyboard shortcuts for browsing and inserting media, image-size choices for Unsplash downloads, and a cart-content interaction trigger. It also updates accessibility controls and fixes issues reported during the 2.4 prerelease cycle.
Browse and insert media with the keyboard
Use arrow keys to move between media items, Space to select them, and Cmd + Enter on macOS or Ctrl + Enter on Windows and Linux to insert your selection. Attachment details now show the attachment ID, which you can click to copy.
Choose your Unsplash download size
Choose 640px, 1280px, 1920px, 2560px, or Original before downloading or inserting an Unsplash image. The selected maximum width preserves the image’s aspect ratio, and Bricks remembers your choice in the browser.
Respond to cart-content changes
Use the Bricks cart contents changed interaction trigger to show a popup after a successful item addition, removal, or quantity change. It distinguishes cart-item changes from initial loading and checkout recalculations, so those refreshes do not announce that the customer changed the cart.
Other improvements
- Edit Theme Style CSS in the fullscreen editor from Style Manager.
- Copy an element’s CSS ID without closing the interaction controls.
- Connect component Icon / SVG properties with clearer SVG choices.
- Set separate desktop and mobile navigation labels in Nav Menu.
- Keep keyboard focus inside the Search element’s open overlay.
- See which existing conditional templates may affect your WooCommerce pages, with clearer wording that they are optional for 1-Click Setup.
- Use revised Traditional Chinese translations and context-specific translations for ambiguous interface labels.
Notable fixes
CSS Sync preserves dynamic background images when focusing Custom CSS and keeps Image element sizing and filter styles scoped to their target. Global classes can override Button styles from Theme Styles again. WooCommerce Checkout v2 supplies the hook arguments expected by compatible plugins.
