UX - adding table columns

[jozef-slezak]

I propose following small improvements for better user experience while adding new columns:

• autofocus on inputs (at least in name of the column) after clicking add column (to avoid double clicking)
• add button near delete button (to simplify mouse movement)
• keyboard shortcut for adding new column

There is a default supported keymap.

add column - alt + enter
edit - enter
remove column - alt + [delete or backspace]
focus move - arrow key
edit focus move - tab

Thanks for the quick reply. I will use keyboard shortcuts Our business analyst would prefer less clicks therefore I have created this issue. I believe many of the users would.

I understood.

However, we design the UI/UX with the following principles.

We do not create duplicate functional UI.
It should be as simple as possible and does not expose unnecessary information.

I can consider autofocus on inputs,
I think it's unnecessary because it already supports enough keymaps.
