What happened to the spacebar for accepting the highlighted tag suggestion?

Postby PeeWee678 » Fri Jun 18, 2010 12:30 pm

Just curious but I've noticed that, since version 1.1A (I think). I can't use the spacebar anymore to choose the highlighted tag in the tag suggestion list. Is this a bug or did I mis something? (I can't find anything in the documentation or the forum).

I love this keyboard shortcut because I'm used to it in other programs as well.

Thanks.

I think it was removed, read this post: viewtopic.php?p=2644#p2644 and Alex's answer below it.

Thanks Ale, I haven't seen that one.
Guess I'll have to write me another Autohotkey script for this one :idea: (don't think that's possible however).
Well, at least now I know "lashtal" is the one to blame :ugeek:

sorry, PeeWee678, but it was necessary :D

Consider you have a tag named "sometagname", and you need to perform search using two strings: "sometag" (just a part of the tag) and "anotherstring".
So you start by typing "sometag" [suggestion with the full tag name appears], press space to enter the second word.. And thats where the problem was: the full tag name would be inserted automatically. It was impossible to search for a part of existing tag.
(and btw: why would you want to type an existing tag into the search field when you can just click it on the left pane?)

The common practice is having the user press the 'down' key to highlight suggestion needed and then press space (or enter or whatever) to insert it. Since Cintanotes automatically highlights the first suggestion, it was impossible to actually insert 'space'.

hope I explained my point, sorry for my english - its not quite native for me :roll:

Hi Lashtal,

Don't take me too seriously; I'll get used to the "new missing feature" ;)
Thanks for your explanation.
