When you select or press the shortcut key for "Duplicate Entry" it would be nice if:
This would actually also work as a confirmation that you didn't accidentally press the "Duplicate Entry" shortcut key. As is today, you can do that and not notice that you have created a duplicate entry.
By changing the code to select the new duplicate, you get the same functionality with one more keystroke:
- 'Enter' opens the Edit Entry window
- Delete or Undo (Ctrl-Z) removes the duplicate.
I think this is less confusing that having the Edit Entry window pop up with different Cancel behavior.
Implemented in commit 180bfbac3, will be in next release.
Well, I've seen this behavior in several programs and i've also implemented it in a couple of mine, so to me it seems familiar.
I guess it's a matter of perspective. What exists today is a manual 3-step process (duplicate entry, press Enter to Edit, press Del to delete if you wish to cancel), which admittedly works fine. What i'm proposing is to combine everything in one step. Anyway, never mind.
FYI though, everything was triggered when i discovered that i had accidentally pressed the keystroke for "duplicate entry" at some point and i had created a duplicate entry without noticing it at first. It would at least be nice to have an option to activate a confirmation message when duplicate entry keystroke was pressed.
