Hi Jan.

 

Not a bad idea. Could be something like "Favorite fields" with maybe 5 fields.

I wonder if something like that could be integrated with forms ?

 

Every grid would/could be associated with 1 or 2 forms that would be accessible through a shortcut OR the right click context menu. As long as it's light and quick.

 

I do use forms, but I'd use them more if I could just 1- call them with a shortcut, 2- click the right field and 3-start typing. It's almost like that. Maybe a tad slower. But since all my forms start with "-".

Honestly I find that it's already pretty quick. Let's see :

 

1- press F4  (or move mouse to properties pane, etc.)

2- then type "-" (or the first letter of your form...  "-" is convenient providing you use the same letter for all forms)

3- expand the form with arrow

4- type the first few letter of the field (Or just use mouse)

5- ctrl-space to check a field, etc.

 

OR

 

1- Press F4

2- Type the first letter of your field

3- ctrl-space to check a field, etc.

 

I guess this process could be quicker. Or simpler/cleaner.

 

One problem that I have is that when expanding forms sometimes (I'll have to test it) the focus moves to the right column even if I didn't do anything to do that.

I don't mind adding that to mantis if Pierre/others like the idea. (???)
