USB Keyboard Behaviour

[DALX]

With a USB keyboard connected to my S24, via a 4 port passive hub, when I go to Add fixture, the patch window does not respond to typing in a letter for a manufacturer when it first opens up on the Generic Fixtures line at the top of the manufacturers list. I have to use the touch screen to select any line below Generic Fixtures, then I can use the USB keyboard to type a letter.

Is it possible to see if this step can be removed please ?

When you tap Add Fixtures, your keyboard arrow keys will still be focused on the Setup menu, meaning you can use the arrow keys to navigate the Setup options. If you tap into the columns, the keyboard can be used to jump you to the first item starting with that letter. For example tapping R in the manufacturer column will take you to the first manufacturer beginning with R. The arrow keys can then be used to step through the manufacturers, and SHIFT + arrow keys will skip through manufacturers quickly. 

To search, tap into the search fields at the top of the columns.

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

As I have just found out after an email from Edward, if you tap into the empty search box at the top of the Manufacturers column, as you type each successive letter, it narrows the selection of manufacturers, which is quicker than using the arrow keys with some groups of manufacturers, then you can do a search for models using the top search box.

If you tap the ABC button, it opens up the on screen keyboard for that column.
