Enable Resizing of Columns in Options Window #99

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It is standard in Windows to be able to resize columns by positioning the mouse 
cursor between column headings, whereaupon the pointer turns into a resize 
symbol and you can drag the seperation to the desired width.

Current behaviour in v0.13.3 is that the "Replace" column becomes almost 
uselessly narrow if the "With" column contents are a long string.

Although it is rare (impossible?) to have the above functionality in actual 
dialogue/options windows please can someone see if this possible?

Sorry, this is an enhancement and not a defect. I forgot to specify so the 
default type of "defect" was appplied and now I cannot change it or even delete 
the post and start again.

This is already fixed in the next release. You can try a beta version if you 
want by going to the bottom of the page at 
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxreplace/ and inside "Development 
Channel". If you want to try it, make sure first of doing a backup of your 
substitution list, just in case that you find a big bug and want to return to 
the stable version.

The Beta version does not extend this functionality through to the 
"Substitution Group Editor" window. Works well so far, so I imagine you are 
getting around to it.

My resizings and/or selection of columns are not recalled when I re-open the 
options window. Again, I imagine this is in the pipeline (am glad that ensuring 
stability takes precedence) and I look forward to the new version. Great stuff!

Previously:
"Alt-M" was the move-up shortcut and
"Alt-V" was the move-down shortcut
which worked mnemonically because V looks like a down pointer
and M looks an up pointer (doubly so).

But now the "Match Case" button has taken over Alt-M as the shortcut key.
"Alt-M" is Match Case (taking over from move-down)
"Alt-V" is now move-up (instead of down) and
"Alt-W" is the move-down shortcut (which does works mnemonically).

So my suggestion would be this:
"Alt-C" Case Match
"Alt-M" move up
"Alt-W" move down

I have created issue 102 to track resizable columns in the substitution group 
editor and issue 103 to track remembering column preferences.

As for the shortcuts, I changed them because of added options, but I will 
revise them to see they can be improved.

If you have further suggestions, please create new issues to keep each one in 
its topic ;)

The list of issues by default only lists open issues, and both 99 and 78 are 
closed. You have to select "All issues" in the combobox and click the Search 
button to see all the issues.
