Bug 94318

Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Quote from the KVocTrain Handbook:
<quote>
'Ins' - Invokes a dialog to enter a new original expression and appends a new row with this expression at the end of the vocabulary. The cursor is moved to the end of the vocabulary afterwards.
If you have selected smart appending you are prompted to enter originals and their translations until you stop by pressing the ESC key.

Actual behaviour:

2 possibilities either inline editing on or off.

When 'on':
'Ins' creates a new line and moves the cursor down to that line. You can enter new expressions right away, pressing 'Enter' moves the cursor to the next column, however when you are in the last column there is no creation of a new line. Hence the behaviour is the same as usual. It would be nice if a new row was appended automatically, even when smart editing is not selected...

When 'off'
'Ins' creates a new line  and moves the cursor down to that line, to the first cell that can contain an expression. To open the dialog you have to doubleclick this cell. IMO it would be better to open the dialog automatically, you are in smart appending mode after all...
When you open de dialog, the edit box where you can enter the expression should get the focus automatically.
When you enter an expression and hit enter, you can continue to enter expressions and they will be put in the following columns, however there is no visual feedback, the cursor does not indicate where this expression will be inserted. This is confusing, especially when you have the dialog and the spreadsheet open together, one next to the other.
When you arrive at the end of the line and hit 'enter' a new row is automatically added. This is OK and as expected, however the dialog looses its focus, everything is greyed. So you have to doubleclick the cell again to start entering data for that line.

Personally I think that having 'smart appending' as an option in not really necessary. It should be the rule if you are at the bottom row. Also, I don't really like the 'Ins' behaviour. This is my suggestion. Let 'Ins' behave as we know it from spreadsheets : insert a new row right above or below the current row. I would choose right below the current row here, so that you can maintain a logical structure in your data-file easily. If you are at the bottom row the 'smart-appending' rules would kick in, so when you press enter in the last cell, a new row would be automatically created, the cursor would be put in the first cell that can contain an expression, either in inline edit mode or opening the dialog. The right cell should get the focus.
