Improve keyboard navigation in the metrics window

Started by adrianbanks on 7,035 views

Currently, you cannot fully navigate the metrics window using the keyboard.

You can move up and down the list, but you cannot expand and collapse the tree structure using the arrow keys.

Edited

This is a heavily requested feature, for all of the 3 major NCrunch views (Tests Window, Processing Queue, Metrics View). Unfortunately it cannot be implemented at the moment because of the design of the tree component used to construct these views. You'll notice that the tree component has a cell based setup where the left and right cursors will switch between cells - this is at the root of the problem.

In V2, the tree component is being completely replaced, which will not only solve a number of performance issues, but will also allow proper use of the cursor keys. So yes, this feature will definitely be implemented in future :)


Cheers,


Remco
