Title: How may one get to the tag panel using keyboard?
Post by: chrisjj on January 20, 2013, 06:21:17 pm

E.g. I select a track, press ALT+ENTER, Tag panel appears, but then what key do I press to get the focus to it?

You can Tab into the box, but that only selects the top line, and there's no way to get beyond that.

There's not much type-select in the Tag Action Window anyway, so does it have much value?  You can Tab from value to value, but for long lists, its a little clumsy.

Thanks, but not here. Tab press goes between the track list, the media tree, and somewhere unindicated, then around again. AFAICS it never reaches the Tag panel.

I'm mystified. I see a list of dozens of field that I can tab down, and edit by keyboard. Only a few go wrong - after Events and Filename (path), tab no longer operates, and Playlists loses the tag panel.

Tab will reach the TAW - it will hit and stop on the file type line, which is a clickable link to open the tag dump window.  You won't notice this unless that line is visible.

Sure you can Tab down cells in the TAW - I have a hundred.  So, for me, there's not much point w/out the ability to type-select to quickly get to a field.

What would be better is if Alt-Enter opened the TAW, and you could immediately type-select the desired field and hit F2 to edit the value.

Definitely not here (MJ 14.0.166), MrC. Here's what I get After ALT+Enter, Tab:

After second Tab:

After third Tab:

Further Tabs repeat the same three.

Better still: both! :)

Also Up/DownArrow and PageUp/Down.

I know, I know.  I read posts so fast, and from the bottom of the forum, I often don't notice the forum name itself.  Sorry, my bad.
