i can move up and down in the list with the arrows (though it's not the fastest to respond to a key-press) and i can tab across rows but: -there is no focus indication (blue box) on the name column so it looks like focus is in lala land. -no cells are editable by the keyboard. i would expect being able to press the space bar on a cell to be able to edit it like i can in the property sheet. i would also suggest making the Done column check-boxes without the yes/no text as the text suggests that if it isn't finished i should click the box when the no label is shown and if it is finished i should check the box when the yes label is there -this is backwards. the check-boxes should also respond simply to a spacebar input to check/uncheck.
I think the focus indication and cell-editability problems are general treetableview problems - the same problems should be there in the debugger. I agree that the checkbox alone is enough in the Done column.
the debugger has a similar problem but this was fixed in the xml tree editor 'open' an xml file, in navigate to an element and you'll see names and values in the two column table in the left pane. once in the table tab takes focus through the cells with clear indication where it is and space begins editing the cell with focus. Petr Kuzel worked on this so he might be able to help.
I don't think yes/no text should be removed. If you don't like it just make the column as narrow so you don't see the text. My XML editor shows attributes/values in the right panel in a table not in a TreeTableView
oops. you're right, i was looking at a treetable not a table. this may not be fixable. the problem with the yes/no text is the way the ui reads: the done column asks a a question, 'Are you Done with this task?' and the checkboxes provide the way to answer. the label for the checkbox tells the user what kind of answer to give. combining the two labels gives to different questions/answers: [] no I am not Done with this task [] yes I am Done with this task each by itself is okay but checking the box essentially changes the question from negative to affirmative and it becomes confusing. the meaning of the question and checkbox state is this: []I am done with this task the task list breaks up this questions but puting the label in the column header (shortened to Done[?]) and the checkbox in each row where the answer to the question applies.
2:1 I will remove "yes/no".
The third issue (no "Yes/No" strings in the Done column) has been fixed. The first two issues (no focus feedback, no edit-activation shortcut) are remaining, and these are generic TreeTableView bugs. Transferring to openide.
ad.2. duplicate of 29612 ad.3. duplicate of 19266 I will file a task to work up the UI spec of TreeTableView (including keyboard navigation, changing values etc.) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 29612 ***
verified, closed - it's duplicate.
