(ok 4.0) Inline editing by double click

Usual action on double click is selecting all text, on 3-click – selecting all line...
So ideal shortcut for starting inline editing would be Ctrl+Click, if it possible.

Make the grid editing altogether optional. I use double-clicking all the time to select text to copy and find the grid editing annoying so it would be great to disable it.

I really support the views expressed here -

1. the inline edit has been really annoying and is very dangerous - most non DBA's who use phpmyadmin try to copy a field and have accidentally changed the values of those fields

2. another annoying thing about the ui is the "arrange columns by dragging" - it creates a problem when trying to copy column names
if you really want to implement this feature, you can move it to the "structure" page and allow horizontal drag with an icon - very simple and intuitive

Ajax is cool - but usability must not be sacrificed for the sake of making the application look cool.

After switching to 3.5.1 i was so annoyed that i have started looking elsewhere ( like MySQL Workbench )

I really like phpmyadmin and really appreciate the amount of work you guys do to make it all come together - i am hoping that you will keep the simplistic, user friendly and rich user interface instead of some annoying things like the ones i have mentioned

About #2, it's not a good idea to move it to the Structure page, as this would make a user believe that this permits to change the structure itself, which is not the case (and has been implemented for version 4.0 in another way).

While I generally like Ajax enable web apps, the in-line editing is one of the most dangerous features I have seen in a long time. It violates the #1 GUI principle which is you don't surprise the user. Clicking on some text in a table should not cause some sort of mode change where you can accidentally change data. This is almost a show-stopper for me that would cause me to downgrade phpMyAdmin or switch to something else, it is just too dangerous to have on a production server.

I did disable Ajax globally with $cfg['AjaxEnable']=0 but it seems kind of harsh since the other features are OK. I might hack the makegrid.js, that sounds a little better though, thanks for the hint.

There are several much better alternatives I've already seen, such as double clicking to enable the inline edit box, or control-click, shift-click, maybe even a teeny icon to click, something other than a single click. Please!

Please upgrade the priority of this request, since it could almost be classified as a bug.

Implemented for version 4.0, see $cfg['GridEditing']. Still to do, some hint to the user about what triggers grid editing.
