I use tab jumps in function windows a lot. When I perform any action I usually call the function window by CTRL + SPACE and then jump with TAB from box to box.
Since CE, especially CE4 some tab jumps don't work in the correct order anymore, e.g. when placing a cell the "active cell" box is highlighted/activated and pressing TAB should move the focus to the next box. Should. But instead it hops somewhere else outside that window. If I put the Cursor in "active angle" everything works as desired. Even SHIFT+TAB jumps back to the "active cell" box.
When scaling elements in V8i I could open the function window and the box "method" was activated. I could switch between items in the drop down menu by pressing SPACE, arrows and ENTER and then TAB to the next box. Now in CONNECT the TAB jumps to nowhere.
Similar behaviour can be seen in many other function windows. Very obviously some programmer didn't do his homework properly. I think I already made a service ticket for that but nothing's changed so far.
No changes here, so far. Am I the only one using the keyboard for switching through options?
I find it highly annoying to not being able to use standard procedures. In each and every Microsoft window you can jump around with TAB, SHIFT+TAB, ALT and whatever key combination there may be. Just not in Microstation. Why is that so?
I want to work FAST and ACCURATE and EFFECTIVELY. In some aspects Bentley put more obstacles in the way than removing them from CE10 or whatever CE it is. Instead they're going the easy way and call that behaviour WAD.
In this case here we're talking about a beginner's programming task, not rocket science. Why is it so hard to regenerate TAB tables?
