Can anybody suggest a solution to the following problem I have been having
with NSTableView? This is a serious usability problem for my application.
My application has numerous NSTableViews where some columns have editable
and non-editable NSTextFieldCells, but other columns have other types of
controls (checkboxes and popups mostly). In tables that consist entirely of
editable and non-editable NSTextFieldCells, one can easily use the keyboard
to tab/shift-tab forward/backward through all the editable text field cells
in the table and the table view will just "skip over" any non-editable text
field cells in the tabbing order. However, if a table column contains other
types of controls (i.e. checkboxes or popups), the tabbing behavior will
just "stop" on the first such control encountered. Essentially it will exit
editing of any cell at that point and just leave the current table row
selected.
Is there any reasonable way to modify this behavior so that the NSTableView
tabbing behavior will just "skip over" button/checkbox/popup controls to the
next editable NSTextFieldCell just as it does for non-editable
NSTextFieldCells? More ideally, I'd like the user to be able to "tab into"
such button cells within the table views and be able to change their values
via the keyboard just as you can with such controls outside of table views
(if your Keyboard system preference is set to allow highlighting of any
control).
Thanks!
