Move object by keyboard [message #172862] Mon, 21 March 2005 22:30 Go to next message

Hi,

I select a shape in the Shape example, but I cannot move it by keyboard. Is
moving by keyboard supported by GEF or I have to handle it myself?

I need it for Section 508. Same case for inserting item from Palette. How
can it be done by keyboard?

Thanks,

Kevin

1. There is a way to move it using the keyboard - press "." to select the
MoveHandle and then use the arrow keys to move.
2. Drag tracker for the editpart could be implemented that will allow arrow
keys moving.

It is funny to use "." to select. I expect using space bar to select it.
Is it documented?

Any plan to implement the DragTracker handling keyboard or I have to do it
myself.

Thanks,

Kevin

CTRL+SPACE is used to select parts just like in lists and tables. picking
up a handle is not "select", so we have to use another key. I like PERIOD
b/c it looks exactly like the handle.

The drag trackers do not need to process arrows. the selection tool does
this already for all trackers.
