:D Oh, I've been hit by the "don't mess with the tab order" when fixing a bug that led to wrong tab order... but they where used to it!
Some thoughts:
Well, this i is more thought of as a discussion on how to be more editor-friendly. The points aren't feature requests for ASF per se, I am thinking that there would have to be some form of community interation around these things.
Sorry, I was in my "fixing issues" mode :)
I'd just like to add my vote of support for 3), we've run into the issue of tab order several times and always have to find workarounds for specific use cases. Being able to say in the JSON "this goes before that" would be incredibly convenient.
Hm. WRT point 2, Pickadate is quite extensible: http://amsul.ca/pickadate.js/api/
Here is an example that uses date.js: http://codepen.io/amsul/pen/cBuAl
Date.js is by the way very feature-rich: https://github.com/datejs/Datejs
@nicklasb is this one also ready for an update to a new enhancement issue with a specific request or still in need of discussion?
I feel that it is pretty specific, that would be if we split the points into projects. Except for 4, which perhaps could be omitted, they would all be major annoyances in any input-heavy situation.
Hi,
Just wanted to add an angle, I have a background with developing systems where people enter large amounts of data in the UI. I know that most people have never used those kinds of systems, and while they are not that different, there are a few things to learn. And if people want some ideas for new features.
People working professionally with accounting, financial transactions and similar, are not only often very fast(and in some cases mindblowingly zen and accurate), but there are some specific UI-features that they depend on:
And then there is this general advice, especially important when working with input-intensive stuff: A UI is a contract between the user and the developer just like an API. Moving a field just because it "felt better to have it there" is not OK, especially if it messes up the tab order. I was actually, and literally killed for doing that once. So I am dead now because of changing the tab order.
