[Phpmyadmin-devel] grid editing and newlines
Hi, when grid editing a TEXT column, hitting ENTER transmits my change instead of inserting a new line. Not sure what the best solution would be. -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

It makes sense that in this case a new line is added, but how should the entry be submitted in the database? If I'm not mistaken there is no submit button at the moment.

Dieter, by default, $cfg['SaveCellsAtOnce'] is set to false, thus not showing a submit button. When setting it to true, a submit button appears but the field closes as soon as ENTER is hit. If we want to support grid editing + newlines, a possible solution would be to ask the user to click outside the input field but it's less efficient.

How about ignoring Shift+ENTER for submitting? This way ENTER would submit form and Shift+ENTER would just insert a newline. -- Piotr Przybylski

Yes but is Shift+Enter intuitive enough or do we need to - advertise it on the page - explain it in Documentation.html -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

I've seen it used in a few places, but it's not common - some "Press Shift+Enter for newline" message under text field would be needed. -- Piotr Przybylski

Yes. I agree to use Shift+Enter and display a hint for that. I'll try to fix this and the RTL alignment on this weekend. -- Aris Feryanto
