Description fkieviet 2007-12-17 19:18:23 UTC

In the schema design view, adding a new element or complex type and changing the definition requires a lot of clicks or
keystrokes. Since this is an often performed operation, some minor changes will greatly improve the user experience.

Suggestions: 
- add a short cut key to access the definitions dialog box
- when in the definitions dialog box, allow searching without having to explicitly opening any nodes in the tree. E.g.
allow typing "str" to select a string without having to open up the Built-In Types node.

Will fix the search functionality

Where the short key access is concerned, if you select the definitions row in the Properties dialog box, and  press
CNTR+SPACE, you will the definitions dialog box. Will not be adding any more since not sure how many mouse clicks, one
can save/decrease.

There is no focus on the dialog. I mean if I start typing after the dialog shows up, it doesn't accept keystokes.
Sonali, try to fix that and mark it as fixed.
