Description Andrew Johnson CLA 2010-10-10 09:45:00 EDT 
On Windows the usual way of selecting entries with the keyboard is with control-up arrow and down arrow then space.

For the tree and table viewers this doesn't work as the search-on-typing box comes up on typing space.

Also, ordinary tables and trees use a typed letter to jump to and entry with that letter. This isn't so important though.

The simplest fix is to SearchOnTyping to ignore a space character when deciding to bring up the search box.
Comment 2 Andrew Johnson CLA 2011-01-11 01:21:43 EST 
Space is now used for selection, not to bring up search on typing.
