Re: [Gnumed-devel] SOAP widget

[Jim Busser]

When people first load Ian's widget, at what position does their 
insertion point* first appear?

Mine (in MacPython 2.3.1) is positioned within the red word 
"Subjective", after the "v", and if I type any text it is inserted 
right there.

If I mouse anywhere within the window, the cursor will shift to an 
appropriate position to the right of one of the SOAP words, and at that 
point I cannot reposition the cursor within any of the words, even at 
the original (undesirable) position right after the "v".

Would others desire a way to shift from one SOAP section to the next 
without having to mouse? Conventionally one might use the "tab" key, 
which at present inputs a tab character within the text. Ideally it 
might cycle among the SOAP items, positioning the insertion point at 
the end of whatever text has already been entered? Would such a 
behaviour be programmed within the widget, and/or would it conflict 
with any convention(s) of which I may be unaware?

* is either "insertion point" or "cursor" more correct in 
GnuMed/Python/SQL program-speak? I think "cursor" can have some other 
meaning.
