Ctrl + N on a record of a static entity should creates new record (and right click on a record)

Development Environment 11.0.116.0

If I have a record selected for a static entity and press CTRL + N nothing happens. 

I need to go to the Records node of the static entity and press CTRL + N there to get a new record.

I would like to add a new record created also when I press CTRL + N when I have an attribute selected.

Please add the CTRL + N Add Record also on the right click menu from a record

Good catch Johan. It will be useful.

Yep, I found myself pressing Ctrl +N when adding Static Entity Records, and nothing happening, and then having to grab the mouse and navigate back to the Records folder each time. This would be useful.

Ctrl + N is available in most of the places to create a new thing Like in Entity to add new attribute even control is inside that folder anywhere on the attribute.


Likewise, It should be available in all the other places wherever Ctrl + N is available to add a new thing. Like Import Image on Images folder, New screen inside main flow, New local variable if inside web screen, and so on...

Hello Amol,

What scenarios are you thinking about?

Ctrl + N already creates screens inside webflows, variables inside screens or images inside image folder.

What version are you using?

Cheers,

But for that, we need to move our control on to that particular folder.

If you check in the entity, If our cursor is on any attribute there, when we press Ctrl + N there, It will add a new attribute to that entity.

It says only about Static entity. You can merge it.

Static Table:

- After creating a record (or when editing one), enable Ctrl + N inside the table structure tree (anywhere) without the need of clicking the root (Records folder or TableName), because when we just typed the record name I can not get Ctrl + N

Currently when creating a new Record for a Static Entity, if you hit Enter after typing in the name of a new Record, then in order for Ctrl+N to create a new Record, you have to first click on Record before it will work. 

When creating new a new Attribute for an Entity you can hit Enter after typing in the name of a new Attribute and then immediately use Ctrl+N to create a new Attribute without the need to click on anything.

It would be helpful and speed up the process of creating Static Entities that have many Records, or when creating many Static Entities, if Ctrl+N worked in the same way as with creating new Entity Attributes.
