Hi, all, I'd like to hear your input on this:
Currently, cursor keys are bound in GNUe-Forms as follows: Cursor up/down - prev/next record Ctrl Cursor up/down - first/last record Page up/down - prev/next block Shift Page up/down - prev/next screenful in grids Ctrl Page up/down - prev/next page in tabbed forms However, some widgets available in forms have a native behaviour that interferes with this key bindings, like listboxes, dropdowns, or multiline entries. In some UIs it is, for example, not possible to navigate to the next record using the keyboard while the focus is on a dropdown. We had some discussion before about record navigation, and the outcome was that the possibility to navigate with the cursor keys should be kept. However, I wonder whether we might want to add a second way of navigating that does not interfere with any native widget. Something that might be easy to intuitively remember might be: Alt Cursor up/down - prev/next record Alt Home/End - first/last record Alt Page up/down - prev/next page in tabbed forms We might even consider to add something like Alt Insert - insert record Alt Delete - delete record Alt Enter - commit Alt Backspace - clear form It's just a wild idea but I figured I toss it on this list :) Thanks, Reinhard
