517216 - Document Tab key shortcut for opening a new table row in Composer

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Help Documentation, defect)

Description

[Johannes Leushuis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090917 SeaMonkey/2.0pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090917 SeaMonkey/2.0pre

In http://allhotkeys.com/microsoft-powerpoint-hotkeys.html it says:

Add a new row at the bottom of the table  	TAB at the end of the last row

This works also fine in Seamonkey 2.0pre, but is not documented in the F1 help or http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/moz_shortcuts.html

This key saves an enormous amount of time! Can it be documented?

Reproducible: Always

[Robert Kaiser]

The doc you mention are unmaintained and I wonder they have not been deleted yet.

Comment 2

[Johannes Leushuis]

Robert, if the documentation currently under F1 help is also not maintained then where can users now find that TAB is the way to add a new row at the bottom of a table?

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

The F1 documentation is maintained, bugs to update it belong into the "Help" component, and patches for that in-product help are appreciated.

Comment 4

[Stefan [:stefanh]]

What rows are we talking about? Is this a composer shortcut?

Comment 5

[Robert Kaiser]

Stefan, yes, this had been filed against Composer initially, so we are talking about adding rows to a table in Composer (probably including mailcompose).

Note that TAB is also used to increase the indentation of a list item.

Comment 7

[Johannes Leushuis]

Yes, but not at the end of a table. Then it opens a new row. As in e.g. Powerpoint. Comes in very handy. But is not documented.

Comment 8

[Johannes Leushuis]

Neil, you mean it also increases the level of a list item, I thought something with tabs. Yes, it is true, TAB does not produce a new row then. However, if you put your cursor at the end of the heading of the list items and then press TAB then you'll get a new row again.

Adding to shortcuts tracker bug.
