See also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112361 which reports the same issue for KVocTrain. I don't see edit mode on focus as a solution as that is not how spreadsheet applications work in general. First, kwordquiz is not a spreadsheet application. It is just a two-columned list and there are no formulas or special needs for the cells not not be in edit mode. Second, the application as of now already _intends_ to do what I mentioned (have the cell be edited as soon as something is typed). However, it is just not doing it properly, since the edit mode transmits the typed letter instead of letting the input method handle it. I understand your frustration and that it's probably a legitimate bug as others have had similar experiences, although I have not been able to reproduce it. With spreadsheet I mean that users expect certain behaviors when they see a tabular interface. That typing places you in edit mode is one of those behaviors, and that F2 also places you in edit mode is another. Having edit mode on focus to me looks very odd when you select multiple cells for copying and pasting as it is not clear what the program will do. What should the Esc key do when editing on focus? Thanks for your explanation as to what your reserves are. I can also understand what you're talking about. There is inherently a problem with inputting non-English text with QT & skim. It's the fact that skim/scim is only activated when QT is in edit mode, and QT table cells naturally go into edit mode when something is typed, therefore, the skim/scim input method is only activated once you type something. I see the same problem in Kspread. Your method of pressing F2 seems to work to cause the cell to directly go into edit mode. That's why I suggested that edit mode be activated immediately upon focus. However, I see that your concern is that this is not natural to QT. Perhaps this is not the place to file this bug. Maybe we'll have to let SCIM and QT deal with this. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! This bug report is not valid anymore. With the port to QML, the cells receive text directly |
