ShortcutAction on Table doesn't work ?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hi,

I tried to implement a shortcut action on a table component, but it doesn’t seems to work :frowning:

At first I’ve read in the vaadin book , that only panel and window can implement such handler, but I saw that the Table had also the method addActionHandler(), so I tried it !

Does it means that this will be implemented soon ? or should it work, and so maybe I missed something

I tried with Vaadin 6.1.0 and then 6.1.2, but same results.
The shortcut Actions seemed well captured on Panels or windows (and also on texfield inside these panels), but nothing happens with table (even if it belongs to a panel which implements this handler…

APi is really confusing here, sorry. Table supports Actions, but not ShortcutActions. Registering action handler to table allows you to add context menus to table rows.

Ok, I see.

So will this functionnality be implemented in the future (on Table or on other objects) ?

I think it would cool if the user can navigate through the table with the arrow keys(6.4pre1 thx) and triggering some action based on the selected item by simply hitting enter. An autocomplete widget may be a use case.
