Moving around with arrow keys

Open Rubaiyat-Alam opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

When browse(df) is entered and the data-table pops up, is there a way to have a table entry already "selected" so that we can avoid having to switch to a mouse/touchpad? To move around the table, what I have to do is - click on it with a mouse, then use arrow keys to move around (or hover the mouse on it then scroll down or pull scrollbars). If one of the entries is already selected, then there's no need to leave the keyboard: I can enter "browse(df)" then use arrow keys to move around the table, then close the window via shortcut and get back to coding. I think this is the case with most data viewers I use for other languages.

Thanks for the issue report. I see what you mean.

This is probably hard to do cross-platform. I will see if there are some utilities to do context-switching like this.
