Optimize Flyout/Grid/Inspector and Keyboard

[Anagoge]

If I choose to optimize a strategy it brings up the flyout optimize grid/inspector. I click in the first param's values (5;10;1, etc.). Once the cursor is there, there isn't an obvious way to use the keyboard to navigate to the next param. Tab exists the entire flyout and down arrow does nothing.

Hello Anagoge,

You should be able to navigate the parameters using the arrow keys on your keyboard. This works on my end.

Can you please open up a new Strategy Analyzer window and test again. Try it on the SampleMACrossOver strategy and check if the arrow keys will allow you to navigate.

I'm unable to get keyboard navigation to work in this case:

Start NT7-13 64-bit
File, New Strategy Analyzer
Select SP 500, AAPL ticker
Optimize, SampleMACrossOver
Click inside the Fast param row where it reads 10;10;1 (the caret flashes)
Hit down arrow, nothing happens

Note that you can click the word Fast and then use Down arrow, but the only way I've found to use the down arrow after clicking the 10;10;1 text is to hit Esc first, which isn't that intuitive. Up and down inside the 10;10;1 text seem to act as left/right, which isn't rare in standalone edit controls, but it is a bit unintuitive in a grid like control. It isn't a huge deal, since people like me that prefer the keyboard are probably rare and one workaround is clear (grab the mouse).

Unfortunately this is as expected. When clicking inside the row (value field), you cannot use the down/up arrows to navigate rows. You will navigate within the row itself.

If you click 'Fast' (name field), you should be able to navigate rows using the up/down keys.
