Attached are the updates to the query results grid, broken up into four patches.
Description of the Completed Functionality After Applying All Four Patches
Currently the designed behavior is somewhere between excel like behavior and not. As such we can describe the behavior as follows:
- Select columns by clicking on the header
- Select rows by clicking on the row header (column 0)
- You can drag and select with the mouse
- You can select all with ctrl+a or by clicking the upper left cell
- You can copy with ctrl+c or with the copy icon
- you can increase or decrease the size of the selected area with shift+arrow
- shift+arrow understands directionality, e.g. drag select from left to right differs from drag select from right to left
- Clicking anywhere outside of the selected area deselects the area and reselects the new cell(s) clicked on
Current potentially awkward but intentional functionality
- When you select multiple columns/rows by clicking on the header, then press shift+arrow all but the last selected columns/rows are deselected
Includes fixes for:
RM Bug #2348 - On resize of first/any column in "Query Tool/View Data" will select/deselect all the rows/columns.
RM Bug #2344 - ctrl+v and ctrl+c need to work
