Desktop Memento

[Kevin Osborne]

First off huge fan, been using the app for years as a pro member and also the desktop app.

Now the query I have here is this, when editing an entry, if you have multiple fields you cannot press the "tab" key to go between. This would be a huge time saver and a great feature.

Also wondering if there is a roadmap of features headed for the desktop?

Thanks all.

There appears to be a misunderstanding as to the normal use of keys in Windows, Java, and Web apps. Just use Enter when you would think to use Tab. It mostly works.

I find this to be not true.  For text fields, neither tab nor enter works to move to the next field.  It would really improve data entry if this were implemented.

That was 8 years ago, and I no longer use the Desktop edition. I have no idea how its behavior may have changed over the years.

This is a dilemma that all Windows programmers face. Should the Tab or Enter key be used as screen control characters (skip to next field, or save the record), or are they to be used as text formatting characters (tab character or new line). If you change to one type, those that depend on the other will complain.

Some programmers will use a multi key press (Crtl-Enter or Shift-Enter) to indicate the other type of use.  Unfortunately it seems that Memento does not do this.

As Memento staff do not usually read this forum, an email to Memento Support can be sent suggesting this change.

Indeed tab does not work with TEXT fields.. however, when you start filling in from below, you can go up bu using Shift-Tab
