Subject: [Stellarium-pubdevel] ShortcutLineEdit, the widget for setting
shortcuts
Hello to all.
I have several issues with the current implementation of keyboard shortcuts
customization (more on that later). I've already done some work on it trying
to address them and fixing bugs.
I dislike the way shortcut editing works at the moment:
- on gaining focus, newly pressed keys are added to the end of the sequence.
In all other similar GUI elements that I've seen, the current value is
*replaced* after gaining focus.
- the "backspace" button is... strange. The symbol is the same one used in
some desktop environments for "clear all the line edit's contents", and its
positioning in most GUIs also suggests "clear all" or "reset to default". At
the same time, the maximum possible length of a shortcut sequence is four
combinations, so even in the worst case returning to replace a single
combination doesn't save much more work than just clearing and re-entering
the sequence.
What I'm going to do unless there are reasonable objections or
counter-proposals:
- replace the "backspace" buttons with "clear" buttons
- add a "reset to defaults" button acting on both primary and alternate
fields
- change the behavior, so the new combination is set while it's entered
- replace the "apply" button with "save settings"
- try to replace the static icon for the "backspace" buttons with text or a
symbol (it's not night mode-d anyway)
I've been also working on adding a search/filter field, but there are some
unexpected problems with it, so it may not appear yet.
Regards,
Bogdan Marinov
