Key binding for rectangular edit

[This topic is migrated from our old forums. The original author name has been removed]

Hello, is there a way to change the key binding for rectangular selection from ALT + MouseClick to CTRL + MouseClick? I'm working on Windows and hitting they ALT key means selecting the first item of the main menu strip of the current window. So when doing an selection with ALT + Click, it will select the area properly but after releasing the ALT key will select the File menu. If you then hit a key it will jump to a menu item in the main menu strip associated with that key. So after I do a rectangular selection, I have to hit the ESC key first before starting to type the text I want to edit/insert/replace. I didn't find anything in the key binding settings. Also there is a thread from 2011 stating funny stuff going on in KDE as well with ALT + Click: [http://www.dbvis.com/forum/thread.jspa?messageID=17088䋀 Thanks, Raik -------------- Product: DbVisualizer Pro 9.1.9 Build: #2154 (2014/06/16 16:42) Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM Java Version: 1.7.0_72 Java Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS Name: Windows 7 OS Arch: x86 OS Version: 6.1 Edited by: Raik on 29.01.2015 16:10

Raik, Just to inform you DbVisualizer 9.2.13 has just been released with the option to change key binding for rectangular selections. Easiest is that you open Help->Check for Update in DbVisualizer to perform the upgrade. An alternative is that you download from our web site: http://www.dbvis.com/download/ Give it a test spin as we haven't had a chance to try it with Snowflake and let me know the result. Regards Roger

Hi Raik, It is not possible to change this in the current version, but I have opened a ticket for looking into if we can make it configurable. Best Regards, Hans
