[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53005] Variable editor: slow performance with large arrays

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #53005 (project octave):

Sure'nough; I didn't know that double-click existed, and it works for rows
too.  That's column/row basis.

I'm looking at the V.E. and it has a dock with some widgets.  Alongside the
plot-icon drop down menu would be a good place for the global auto-fit menu.

So, the global auto-fit would run on the whole table.  (Should the autofit
work to make all column widths the same or allow them to adjust according to
its own column entries?)  The double-click works on a column/row basis, good. 
Another possible auto-fit method I could see is that in the right-click
drop-down menu (one exists already so adding "autofit" shouldn't be too much
work) the feature applies to just the *selected* items.  In other words, say I
don't want the autofit for the whole column (because maybe somewhere in a
non-visible part of the table there is a long string somewhere), but I want
the column to adjust to the autofit width of a particular selection that I
*can* see.  That gives the user a bit of control over the visual spacing of
just the contents that are visible within the table.
