GridFastNavigation Add-on - Vaadin Add-on Directory

Provides better keyboard handling and other enhancements in Grid's Unbuffered Editor mode for experienced Excel users. Vaadin 7 & 8 supported.

GridFastNavigation adds several features to the existing Grid unbuffered editor to make it more usable for Excel-style editing applications. Features Vaadin 8: - Enter key can be configured to change column instead of a row - PgDown/PgUp supprt - Tab changes column, Grid can be browsed with cursor keys. - Typing text enables edit mode. (If you start typing with Delete key, the cell will be emptied first) - In ComboBox / DateField cursor down will open popup - The add-on supports TextField, PopupDateField, ComboBox and CheckBox in the edit fields of the editor. - RowEditEvent and CellEditEvent logic - Pressing Esc cancel edit and reset the value - Home/End key support: Home - first row, End - last row, Shift+Home - first column on first row, Shift+End last column on last row (can be disabled) - Server-side focus tracking events either on per-cell or per-row basis - Editor open/close events - DateFields now don't stop working after using up/down arrow navigation - Selecting text when opening editor can be enabled and disabled - Tab navigation skips disabled columns, selected columns can be disabled on editor opening. - Move with enter/shift+enter and tab/shift+tab as well as up/down arrow keys while editing - Allows user to start editing without first opening the editor - Open editor with single mouse click (configurable) - Optional mode to close editor and dispatch edit event when clicking outside of Grid - getItem() method in cell and row edit/focus, editor open events - setFocusedCell(row,col) method sets focused cell programmatically Note, although idea is tempting to use this add-on to enable Grid's with large number of columns, the Grid's performance itself is good upto 20 or 40 columns depending on their content. If you need Excel-style editing with larger number of columns, I'll recommend to use Spreadsheet instead. Notes for Vaadin 7 users: - Version 0.4.0 - 1.2.0 is compatible with 7.7.7 and newer. With older framework versions (7.6.0 to 7.7.6) you need to use 0.3.0, but it does not have all the features. - Vaadin 7 version has not been maintaned since version 1.2.0 and behind 2.5.1 in development
