Summary0000045: Row Selection
Description

Clicking on the row numbers (on the left side of the Pattern Editor) would select the entire row (the cursor would stay in its current spot). This would emulate a feature of many spreadsheet programs, making it easy to select entire rows without having to move the cursor to the last channel.

Row Select works great under normal use. The selection is kept separate from the input cursor (which stays where you left it), so this works like regular click-and-drag.

I did notice two quirks that are of extremely minor importance. (I had to go out of my my way to find these.)

  1. Drag-clicking a row, where your mouse is first clicked in the row header but ends inside a column will still select the rows that were dragged. This is a nice little featurette since you don't have to keep your mouse in the row headers to select the rows.

  2. Shift-clicking has an odd side-effect, if you do it like this: use Row Select as normal, but after beginning your drag, press Shift. The selection will now start at the channel where the INPUT cursor is, and select all rows between that and your mouse, but only the columns AFTER the cursor. This might be used as a way to filter your selection by selecting all columns in the Row Select after the input cursor's location.

Neither of these i'm sure were intentional, and again, they're not important enough to waste time on if you don't like these behaviors.

Definitely a keeper. Good work as always, Jojo! :)

The first is fully intentional, however the second one is not. I guess I will try to remove that "feature", since it is not straight-forward at all.

Revision 773 fixes the second issue. (Same download link as always)

Tested Row Select and it works perfectly. Will write it up for OHM.

That's a wrap, people!
