Description Simon 2009-10-24 10:19:39 UTC

Version:           1.0.0-beta6 (rev.: 1035699) (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-4.slh.1-sidux-686

At the moment pressing PageUp or PageDown in the Image Viewer has no effect when the (text) cursor is in the Caption field. That is quite a nuisance when adding captions to multiple images. After entering the caption you have to click somewhere (but not on the image, because this would show the thumbnail overview, and not on any checkbox that would change anything on the image, and ...) to remove focus from the text field. And then you can press PgUp/PgDwn

I except pressing PgDwn/PgUp just switches to the next image. 
Why should this be blocked anyway? For sure not because the keys can be used for scrolling in the Caption field. (Give me any user who writes more than 5 lines there.)

Comment 1 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-11-06 16:28:46 UTC

It's not actively blocked by digikam, rather the QTextEdit widget will accept QKeySequence::MoveToNextPage (Page Down) etc. keys in its keyPressEvent method.
We can override that method or install an event filter if we want to use these keys globally.

Comment 2 Simon 2009-11-06 16:47:52 UTC

Oh great, Qt limitations again.
Global use ... yes, why not? I cannot think of a situation where I'd need PgUp and so in text boxes at the moment.
