Thread: pgAdmin III 1.10 beta
Hi Dave & developers, Would it be a good idea to have the block indent/unindent and block comment/uncomment features appear as items on the "Edit" menu, along with their associated keyboard shortcuts? This would alert the new user to their existence, not to mention make it easier to learn the shortcut! If they made the menu too cluttered, they could be grouped into a submenu named "Format" or some such, as you often see on text editors. Great work on the new version - many thanks to you all!

As a result of starting to look at this, I found some problems with the original implementation. They've now been fixed, but I had to change the shortcut keys to get consistent cross-platform behaviour. > If they made the menu too cluttered, they could be grouped into a > submenu named "Format" or some such, as you often see on text editors. In hindsight I agree. I think this is useful enough, and *probably* non-invasive enough to be added during beta, so I've asked Ashesh to knock up a patch to see if it would be acceptable. > Great work on the new version - many thanks to you all!

That's great - hopefully it will make it in. Speaking for myself, I'm like a child with a new toy when I get a new or updated piece of software....scanning the menu items is a good way to find out quickly what's there. :-) Ray. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Raymond O'Donnell, Director of Music, Galway Cathedral, Ireland rod@iol.ie Galway Cathedral Recitals: http://www.galwaycathedral.org/recitals ------------------------------------------------------------------
