Comments from Julio



Toggle Column/Row navigation



HR: Julio suggests escape key, I have no objections


CB: What are these modes


HR: Explanation of row and column row


CB: The example provides left and right and up and down rows


HR: Carl will working on grid implementation


JB: Why was shift space dropped?


JG: Control+Space selects a message


HR: We are discussing that we don't need it


HR: Navigating to specific row and pressing space bar


JG: Control may have come from control right link


HR: Do we need that?


JC and CB: The use of SPACE is easier


HR: Resolved for SPACE to select a row


CB: Its like you are getting out or row navigation mode


JC: You can get out or row mode


HR: What about screen reader behavior?


HR: I don't think it will interfere with screen reader


JC: Would the keystroke be problematic with other AT


HR: Other AT has dedicated keys


JG: Escape key is mapped to the cancel button in windows


HR: We can recycle shift+space for toggle row


JC: You mean control+space?


HR: Shift+space and control+space were redundant


HR: Shift+space should be used to toggle between row and column


CB: Should it be a toggle?


HR: Shift+space should be used to switch to row navigation mode


HR: If it is a toggle, if we had a toggle key would it take you to last column selected


CB: If you can do it with the keyboard you should be able to do it with the mouse


JG: Double click could be used to select the row


HR: What is the technique for mouse mode


JG: We need to select content for copy and paste


HR: Toggle is the current recommendation of the shift+space


HR: Space will be used for selecting a row


all: Toggle is the way it should work



Left and Right Arrow Keys



JC: Don suggestion requires one less keystroke


HR: Right


JC: People go to column or row navigation it should stop at the beginning or the end of the row aor column


all: yes



Column Navigation Mode and Selecting



HR: People should stay in column navigation mode and select a row (space), you should stay in column navigation mode


JC: Focus stays in the last cell or row selected


all: yes


JC: Left Arrow moves to last column and moves people into column mode



Selecting Rows



HR: Shift+Up and Shift+Down arrow keys select multiple rows


CB: In windows the current row is also selected


CB: Windows does not distinguish between selection and focus


JG: I don;t think that is true


JC: This of excel rows


JC: Shift and arrow keys


HR: What about column mode?


HR: We should be able to select the content of the columns with shift Arrows


JC: What about vertically?


JC: We need clarification, are we talking about row selection or content selection?


JC: Basically content selection and row selection should be the same


all: yes



Views


HR: We have three views, page view with display size


HR: There is another option for a scrollable view
