Simply closing feedback cases without any explanation

i not like key combinations because if you hit the wrong key by mistake your pc make anything
and then guess what key you had pressed! (the only combinations i use are ctrl c,x,v)
what i like to see is a menu lock all,unlock all,lock selected,unlock selected.
i like also a real lock that the control and event source could be locked to prevent any changes.
apart from this i can not memory 100+ key combinations …

I talked to @Jason_Parsley and Xojo insists that the new behaviour is the best behaviour.
Apparently they got a number of messages from users saying that they were happy that they made the change (at least they are saying so).

So I filed a feature request for a setting (please subscribe):

Aghh yes I forgot Alt key was already used, as Shift and Ctrl. :frowning:
I will think about it and write a review on the link above because that’s a missing thing in Xojo IDE.

I asked to reopen Case 63973 then, I can’t move locked controls in Web 2.0 with the arrow keys but can do it with Desktop and iOS projects.

Maybe Xojo itself should think about what they want?

Controls should not be moveable or resizable if they are locked.

Btw.: I totally agree with Robin :wink: .

And should have a way of being excluded in a group select (drag a select rectangle around n components, all will be selected, except those locked). Maybe a toggle setting in the right-click: “:ballot_box_with_check: exclude locked controls from selection”

A thing we often read, here. Without any proof, i do not believe it. I did not count the pro and contra „votes“ here, but have the feeling it‘s about 50:50. In such cases an option to meet the users preference is recommended.

Users are happy, you are the only one complaining about that… We know what is best… :roll_eyes:

Yes, that would be the best solution beetween the name of the function (a real lock) and a custom behavior someone want.
