Datatable: keyboard navigation

hi there,

i have a datatable where i activated keyboard navigation. According to documentation at http://docs.webix.com/datatable__navigation.html the keyboard navigation should be enabled by setting “navigation: true”. This does only work if i also set “select: true”. Is this a bug in the documentation or a bug in the library?
And i found another bug (or unexpected behaviour): My tables content is loaded remotly from an url ‘url:"/people.json"’ that provides the data in small chunks of 50 lines to reduce the data being transmitted in the client (our table contains tens of thousands of rows). When using keyboard navigation its possible to scroll using the up/down keys without limits (as long as both parameters mentioned above are set), but when i use page up, page down keys i can only scroll as far as the data is loaded (the next 50 rows). once new data needs to be retrieved from the server, i need to use up/down keys to navigate. When some more data was retrieved, i can use the up/down again until i hit the next dead end. Can you please fix this?

Regards,
Marc

Hi,

Yes, to have a navigation you need to have selection enabled. We will consider extending this functionality and adding support for key-navigation without selection.

Issue with pageDown key handling is a bug and it will be fixed in the next update.

Hello maksim,
Thanks for the bug confirmation. Is there a bugtracker where i can inquire the state of the bug or are release notes published somewhere so i know its fixed?
Thanks, Marc

Fix will be included for sure in Webix 3.2 ( February 2016 )
