GUI / keyboard navigation etc. issues #1

Open Leu-Gim opened 6 years ago

Leu-Gim commented 6 years ago

While generally TAB/SHIFT+TAB work as expected (including focusing the sidebar), and a variable can then be selected and opened for editing by usual keys, then variable editing window acts as a black hole, with no visible (by keyboard) way to get out there - neither of TAB, SHIFT+TAB, CTRL+TAB, F6, ALT+F6, any F_ help. No such issue in DB view (like "Welcome.Introduction") window.

Yet CTRL+Z (undo) doesn't work in variable's editing input field, maybe another key combination is used, but no such settings in "Preferences". (or maybe there's no "undo" in SWT, I hope there is)

This appears to be a (undesirable) characteristic of the Nattable widget (https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/) used to implement the variable editor. It appears to consume the usual navigation and undo keys.

I've made a note in my todo list to look into this.
