Hi Mario,

It would be very nice if the following enhancements could be added to the hierarchic keywords-panal:
1: right-click on a keyword: Please add: Copy (CTRL-C) to copy the content to the clipboard. No I have to do it this way: F2 (Rename), CTRL-C, ESC
2: implement drag and drop between the rows. I often deside to make changes and now I do this with copy and paste.

Thanks in advance,
Rien van Ham.

I don't understand. When I right-click on a keyword, I get:

You are talking about the thesaurus panel inside the Keyword Panel.
All thesaurus commands are in the Thesaurus Manager. This is the tool to use to modify your thesaurus.
The Keyword Panel only offers some frequently used commands in that control.

Hi Mario,

Thanks. It could save me a lot of actions but I can live with it.

Maybe. But it will cost me several work days to implement drag and drop in this 3rd party control (if possible at all).
(Analysis, design how it should work, figure out all fringe cases, error checking and user messages, translations, new tests, documentation updates, new screen shots, ...)
And since only one user has ever requested this, I doubt that many need it...

The Thesaurus Manager in IMatch 2021 even has drag & drop support for quickly re-arranging entire tree sections.
Impossible to do the same for this control. And doubling functionality is always bad.

Hi Mario,

It would already be great if the thesaurus manager supports drag and drop.

Thanks in advance!

Rien.

As I said, the Thesaurus Manager in IMatch 2021 supports drag & drop.
Not the thesaurus control in the Keywords Panel.
