Fix: make the default focus on the plot widget #12

Closed jurc192 closed 1 year ago

jurc192 commented 2 years ago

Now the keyboard-based workflow is not so smooth since pressing tab/space/enter triggers actions in other widgets instead of performing a scan. Figure out how to make plot/window focused by default, instead of individual widets.

The commit 250510a partly solves the issue (plot widget is focused by default after starting the application), but as soon as you press a button the focus stays on a button. Would it be possible to "always" move focus back to the plot widget after pressing buttons? It seems convenient (for keyboard-based workflows) but I am not 100% how far to strecth this and if it is a smart idea in general. What happens when one wants to edit the table with keyboard, when to return focus back to widget?

Always focusing on the plot widget is possible. But then indeed there arises a problem when one wants to select, for example, things in the table or the input or something else. What can be done is implementing program-wide shortcuts for measuring, moving the graph etc,
