In 5.1 it was very convenient, at least for me, to jump through all editable fields with tabulator key. This was including jumping over day, month and year in the date field. In the new editor this is no longer possible, arrow keys can be used here.
Can this behaviour somewhere be modified to get back the jumping with one single key (tab)?
I am new to KMM and I am on Windows. I have version 5.2.1 and TAB still works for me. I can move between fields when editing a ledger entry using the TAB key.
@OldSchool Yes, but when you are inside the date widget and the leftmost part is highlighted and you press TAB the focus will go to the next widget (most likely the amount widget).
What @hoblins is asking for is that pressing TAB in this case shall highlight the second part of the date and keep the focus within the date widget.
@ipwizard thanks for the clarification. I totally understand now. I guess that could be an option, similar to the ‘Use enter to move between fields’ option.
Feature was added to master branch.
Thank you so much for adding this feature. Would be happy to have this in the 5.2 branch, at your leasure.
The date field was one of the things that made interaction cumbersome for me in older versions. Playing round, I find that using “.” now consistently moves to the next date entry field, which I find very convenient. Maybe it is something you might consider…
In fact, it is any valid date separator which depends on the selected date format. A few examples:
| Dateformat | Valid delimiters | Description |
|---|---|---|
