UX creating an entity using event listiners (Place cursor in text box and allow Enter to create)

Currently the workflow is as following:

  • Move mouse to “create entity”

  • Pop up shows, the User starts typing, nothing happens.

  • Grab the mouse and click in the text field.

  • Move hands back to the keybouard to type the name and presses enter to create, nothing happens.

  • Grabs the mouse again to press the create button.

The happy flow I suggest is:

  • Mouse (or shortcut) to create entity
  • Cursor is placed in the TextField, so i can type directly.
  • I press enter, entity has been created.

This is way faster, cleaner and helps a lot of beginner users to create their first entity.

Great suggestion Johan, I will pass this on to our FE team to see how we can address this.

Cheers!
But i think the update didn’t come through yet. At least pressing the create button, wil not place the mouse, not does it listen to enter.

But keeping my fingers crossed to see this being released.
