UI feature requests

More. :-)
  • In find/replace dialog in Query, if cursor in Find what box and I press tab, cursor should go to the Replace with box. This is UI norm. Instead, Find button gets focus. One may argue, "But what if I just want to type something and search? Type chars-tab-enter." Response: No, you should be able to type chars and just press enter while the cursor is in the Find what box.

I don't know how to do that but it would be a nice feature.

It's trivial if using .NET Framework, but not sure what you guys are using.

It's quite sure we're not using .NET as pgAdmin is available on Linux
and Mac OS X too :)

We're using wxWidgets.

This might be the answer: http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/faqcmn.htm#taborder. It mentions both controls and windows, so if it's not the answer, then the FAQ could be confused.

I've read that. The issue is that we actually don't use the usual create
methods it talks about. We use an XRC file, and I still didn't find a
way to specify tab order in an XRC file. I'm sure there's a way to do
this, but didn't find it yet.
