RAWBInfo
Posted: Tue Jul 30, 2013 4:31 pm
The keyboard support and shortcuts in RAWBInfo (53.12) need to be corrected and tweaked a little bit (would be nice if): 
If you open a drawer info window:
1) In the Protection section, you can see "w" for write, but if you press that on the keyboard, a cursor in the name field appears,
I suppose that's because it's the same shortcut as for the "Drawer tab" itself.
2) You press "n" to change to the the icon-Tab and..weird things happen if you press "n" again. the "Show-cycle menu" opens, if you then Press the TAB key a cursor appears in the Tool types section, and the only way to exit from there without using the mouse will be to press Right-Amiga-w. Thats ok, but by the same logic one should be able to press the Right-Amiga-C and Right-Amiga-S combinations to exit from the RAWBInfo window. It's not consistent with the usual keyboard support.
If you open a file-info:
3) and you press "f" a cursor in the Name-string gadget appears. to exit there, I would assume Right-Amiga-n but that flashes the workbench screen.
I can however press "Enter" to confirm or ESC to exit the name-string-gadget.
If I press TAB instead I found a nice feature, namely the possibility to cycle through all protection bit fields, which can then marked and un-checkmarked with the SPACE key, to the comment field and back to the name field again. Enter exits the edit mode.
4) Sadly this does not work the same on a Drawer-Info window, as you can read above (Tool types)
The info windows for Tools work the same as for files.
So it would be nice to have consistency in all three RAWBInfo windows.
5) Last unwanted feature: I noticed I can not rename a Volume name from RAWBInfo if a volume with the same name exists.
I plugged in an old hard disk with some partitions having the the same Disk name (but different Volume labels, e.g. DH0 and MH0) as my main drive and RAWBInfo just closes the window without performing a change. I activate the name field, change the name, press ENTER and click the "Save" or press "s"
