Description Nicolas Brisset 2005-07-21 18:45:49 UTC

Version:           1.2.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

(This is an easy one, but it would take me longer to make and send the patch than to report it and have one of you "real" developers implement the fix)

The datawizard is extremely cool, but I'd like to have a small improvement. Currently, in the second page focus goes to the search filter, which is good. If you type something into it, it pulls the corresponding vars to the top, which is also good. But then, you have to get to the mouse to easily add the highlighted fields to the selection, while "Enter" (currently useless) could be connected to the same slot as the button just below... That would allow to just press enter, and proceed with the next variables, making it much more productive :-)

Can't you do the same thing by hitting ALT+h (the shortcut for the Check Selected button) instead of Enter?

Comment 2 Nicolas Brisset 2005-07-22 09:58:07 UTC

Right, that works. But I still think connecting the existing returnPressed() signal to the existing checkSelected() slot is cheap and makes things more convenient :-) 
I should have an svn account one of these days. Then I can make such trivial changes without bothering you...

Comment 3 Nicolas Brisset 2005-07-22 10:28:39 UTC

Well, I just realized it may be a bit more tricky than that, as "Return" currently changes to the next wizard page as soon as "Next" is enabled :-( 
Personnally, I would much prefer having to use the mouse to click on "Next" and being able to use "Return" to add vectors to the selection, but that may need further discussion... Another option would be to find another convenient keyboard accelerator (Alt+H really isn't easy to type !).

Comment 4 Andrew Walker 2005-07-22 21:05:03 UTC

Alt+H is probably the best shortcut available (Alt+C is used for Cancel). 
Anything we could do to make this "quicker" would be non-standard.
