If you are referring to this:

Quote:
Metadata editor: Add a context menu to the Name column cells with: Add Metadata, Add Property, Remove, Move Up, and Move down. Having to tab to the buttons is a PITA.

If an item (e.g Author, Date etc) has Properties one cannot navigate into the item's Value with the → key, one must ↓ to the Property, → to its Value, and then ↑ to the item Value.
Then I have not responded to it.

To be honest I just missed it.

That said, I am not a big fan of context menus attached to individual fields in a treeview. Even BookBrowser which is a treeview only attaches to the virtual folder headers, not elements in the treeview itself.

I will look into improving navigation to add a value to a MetaData element without having to arrow down, across, and the up. Maybe we could advance the cursor to that field after adding a Metadata element so typing the value can more easily be done?

Let me play around with a few ideas to see if I can make this easier. Maybe the entire MetaEditor could have a pop-up menu whose elements are enabled or disabled based in the currently selected field in the tree? That may be possible, but it would still require a mouse click to launch the popup.
