Re: [GNUe-dev] Intuitive behaviour in Forms

[Jason Cater]

This is how it works now, and is how I'd prefer it to stay. We could implement 
Reinhard's behavior using a gnue.conf settings, I suppose. 

I'm also not so sure about changing the arrow-key behavior. These are 
data-bound forms, after all, so to me and my users, using the arrow keys is 
intuitive. 

At least in my office, this is what all my users are accustomed to. This is 
also pretty standard behavior in form-like applications. 

Thanks, 

Jason
