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

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

Re: Key binding for rectangular edit
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
