Hi folks,
I have a Grid and I want to edit some data. My users call the current aproach “too clumsy”.
What they need to do in order to change a value:
- Focus the cell, either by mouse or keyboard
- Hit Enter / doublecklick to trigger the edit mode
- delete the old value
- provide the new value
- hit “enter” / leave to save
- repeat
What they want to do in order to change a value:
- Focus the cell, either by mouse or keyboard
- direcly type-in the new value, the old value beeing replaced directly
- hit “enter” / leave to save
- repeat
What I feel I need to be able to come close to such an aproach:
- Custom key listeners
I then could manually trigger the editor / replace the old value with whatever key the user pressed and let her continue editing “as normal”. At least that is my hope. But I can not find any such listeners in the Grid. Is it even possible at the moment? Or is such a feature sceduled at the very least? My users typically have to alter “tons of data” in a go, so whatever enables them do it faster would be a good thing.
I use vaadin 7.6.7. Thank you guys and gals
