I edit data in pgAdmin edit grid in Windows XP

To change single column in many rows, I use 3 keys after

tab
down arrow
left arrow

this is VERY inconvenient.

This is exactly the stuff a base control should deliver, i.e. wxGrid. It does so unsatisfactory, and probably will never do better, which is one reason why I'd like to get rid of this control (and not just me: most developers who once touched that piece of sh^H^Hcode).


Do we know why it's so bad? Is it caused by compromising between
different implementations of grids on different platforms? If so,
perhaps the only answer would be a custom control (urgh).

It has been common understanding on wx-dev for quite a while that wxGrid should be rewritten from ground to have it implemented in a clean and maintainable way. The current 300k source has poor editors, bad key handling, ... (you add your stuff here).
If "custom control" means to write a ctlGrid ourselves, well go on....
You probably have plenty of spare time :-)
