Currently the editor only sets the focus to the name field after you created a new element or name. It should select the text in the name field so overwriting it is quicker possible. I could provide a patch.
patches are always nice :)
Created attachment 133093 [details] Initial patch enabled selection on all FormEntry text fields inside the focus listener. Works in my tests as expected.

It's getting pretty late in the cycle for patches, but we'll look at this in RC1.
Moving to 3.6. Very late in the cycle and there are higher priority items.
Phil, I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding what behaviour you wanna have. On my machine (WinXP), when I add an element to an extension, no field actually gets focused. Thus, I think I don't really understand what you mean by > Currently the editor only sets the focus to the name field after you created a > new element or name. The patch is cool anyways (one can type/overwrite data more easily), I'm just not sure it is really fixing what you're expecting
it works exactly like I wanted it to work now with the patch. If you like it too, you can update it to HEAD :)
Ben, are you happy enough with the patch to put it in for M1 or would you like to see changes?
yup, released!
