Hello,<br>this may be an issue in the way that we are handling the activation of some slots.<br>The way I see it, double-clicking or hitting Enter on a selected item should have the same effect.<br><br>Basically, in Accounts, double-clicking an account opens the ledger.

<br>I haven't had time to check it yet, but it's probably happening in the SVN version.<br><br>Regards,<br>Alvaro<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Alvaro Soliverez</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:asoliverez@gmail.com">asoliverez@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Hello Alvaro,<br>
<br>
thanks for your answer.<br>
<div>> actions (which allow you to define these shortcuts) are defined for the<br>
> whole application, that's why you get this message.<br>
</div>That's what I feared.<br>
<div>> Plus, assigning Enter or Return to any action is really looking for<br>
</div>> trouble, as it is an implicit shortcut for any activation...<br>
Exactly. When I am in Accounts view, and an account is selected (highlighted),<br>
then on pressing Enter, I'd expect the corresponding ledger to be opened.<br>
That is similar to a file manager like Dolphin. Select a directory using<br>
the arrow keys, press Enter and the directory is opened.<br>
Or select a file, press Enter and the associated application is opened<br>
with that file.<br>
<br>
In the Ledger view, in Select mode, I would expect that with Enter<br>
I begin editing the selected transaction.<br>
In Edit mode, I would expect that Enter commits the edited transaction,<br>
as if clicking on the Enter button.<br>
I took it for granted that the Enter key triggers the same action<br>
as (clicking on) the Enter button.<br>
<br>
I usually set up my applications so they behave in a similar way,<br>
that is, comparable action -> same key.<br>
And for every action that I use frequently, I tend to define a shortcut.<br>
<br>
Now I understand that there is nothing that can be done in short term<br>
to set up shortcuts as I would like, and I have to use a different shortcut.<br>
<br>
But I hope that you understand my reasoning and perhaps<br>
keep it in mind during future development.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div>I agree with you that consistency is important and the behaviour you mention is an expected one.<br>What we can do in the short term is verify those shortcuts. If you double-click an account in the Accounts View, it opens the ledger. Hitting Enter should do the same. The same when double-clicking a transaction, so hitting Enter should do that.<br>
I'll verify that.<br>Also, keep in mind that Enter and Return are different keys from the application point of view. So, perhaps one works, but not the other.<br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888">Alvaro<br>
