Hi, The popup editor is stopping me from pasting into a text field! How do I turn the silly thing off and go back to the in place editor? |

There is currently no way to turn off this editor. Probably that will be an option in the future. However, how does it stop you from pasting? It should behave exactly like the inplace editor? |

Hello, Try copying some text to the clipboard now highlight a text field to change then press Ctrl+V. Nothing happens. You actually have to double click the field to get the popup editor then paste then click a button to close the window. Way too complicated for quick working. In my other program (sorry, had to go back to SQLFront) I simply highlight field then paste and it is done, arrow key to next field and insert agian . For LONG text in MEMO field it still works. Hope you can fix this soon as it is very cumbersome and I hate using the mouse where I do not need to. |

Well, no need to "fix" that if you're already using another toy, or? |

Btw, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V already work as expected. There's only a minor timing problem with that it seems, you have to press the keys a tick longer than normally (let's say, half a second), then both shortcuts work as described. |

Hmm... 1. Not quite the answer I expected about using other Toy! However, if that is your response then so be it I will switch permanently back to MySQLFront if you so desire. NB I purchased MySQLFront a very long time ago and keep it updated as I do your product. They both have their strengths. 2. I did not say Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V were not working I said that HeidiSQL was not responding to them. "Big" difference. 3. You are correct you must hold the keys for "27ms" longer than normal. |

Well your question did sound a bit pissed so don't expect a super friendly answer :) aewhite903 wrote: I did not say Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V were not working I said that HeidiSQL was not responding to them.

Hi Anse, I've been trying to use the latest builds instead of v3.2, and I've run into the same problems aewhite documented above. Using v3.2 and inserting a new row into a table with 3 numeric and 2 text fields, these are the steps I take 1. position to last row 2. arrow down 3. type value 4. tab right 5. type value 6. tab right 7. type value 8. tab right 9. type value 10. tab right 11. type value 12. tab up Using the build 1906 to achieve the same result 1. position to last row 2. arrow down 3. f2 4. type value 5. enter 6. tab right 7. f2 8. type value 9. enter 10. tab right 11. f2 12. type value 13. enter 14. tab right 15. f2 16. type value (in pop up box) 17. escape 18. enter (these last 2 steps equivalent to mouse click on apply changes) 19. tab right 20. f2 21. type value (in pop up box) 22. escape 23. enter 24. tab up It’s all a bit laboured in my view, and I suspect you might lose a few customers when you put this code into the recommended release. Is there a possibility of having an option to select the insert style? Regards Muzza |

You can turn off all kinds of popup editors in the preferences dialog. If you do so your grid has inline editing again for the relevant column types. |

Hi Anse, So it does - thanks. The only difference when inserting rows then, when comparing v3.2 against the daily builds, is the need to press F2 on every field. Is this potentially a perference setting? Thanks Muzza |

No, not a preference setting. However, Enter is a second shortcut and probably more handy. Feel free to post code ideas for that. I heard that before from a couple of people who want immidiate editing as soon as they click a cell. |
