Perhaps there should be buttons with which you could
"fix" a language field. This means that when you change
the selected entry, the cursor automatically focuses
the "fixed" language.
Interesting... I am not ruling this out. What if upon
changing the selected entry, the focus is automatically put
on the last "focused" language field? But then that means
you would not be able to navigate the tree with your
keyboard keys (you would always lose focus). A good
compromise would have to be found.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Good suggestion concerning the focus keeping. Navigating the
tree/entry list WOULD be possible in combination with this
functionality if you could catch keyboard events outside the
focused area. Perhaps using the same way Eclipse itself
catches certain key combinations. You would probably have to
add extension points in different locations.
You could use "Ctrl-cursor key" for instance.
Or you could use a key combination to switch between
navigating inside the edit box (keeping the focus) and
navigating the tree/list.
I'm just a beginner when it comes to writing Eclipse
plugins, but if you want to continue this discussion outside
this (not very tech-focused) channel, I'd be more than happy to.
