Proposal of a grid / item navigation cluster

When focus is on the grid, the letter keys are sadly neglected (no use at all, except to start editing and output that character first in the edit box). Below is my proposal of a left-hand navcluster to make the most-used item commands available in an easy-to-remember spatial layout. This is working Autohotkey code:

Sort and filter by level

One for the wishlist: I wish I could define separate sort and filter criteria for each level shown in the grid.  I now use the source bar, and have to invent combinations of filters and sorts so that each level shows the items that I want.  Where it goes wrong is at the lower items levels, it filters out items that I want to keep because it is applying a higher level filter.  Using "| "to filter sub-items is an all-or nothing toggle.

Ideally I would like a control that looks something like:

Cursor placement in edit mode

Suggestion: 

Clicking to the right of existing text = cursor goes to end of text (instead of beginning)

When editing, I usually, want to place the cursor at the end of the existing text.  I used to do that by double-clicking in the open space to the right of the text.  Now that puts me at the beginning of the text instead of the end.

To start at the end, you have to precisely place the cursor at the end of the text.  If you're off by the tiniest amount to the right, the cursor goes to the beginning of the text.

Setting to prevent images corruption on DocPane when "deleting merged items", and other situation

Hi. Often I end up with images corrupted on DocPane because of two situations, as detailed in this screen-recording below.

 

a) Situation 1

Two images were pasted into the DocPane of two different items.

With the two items selected, I triggered 'Item > Join Items > Delete merged items > OK".

The images are gone with the deleted items, and just an X corrupted placeholder.

This is a more controlled situation, since I can pay attention to the content of the DocPane, and does not perform "join" when I see there are images.

 

Documentation page titles

Hi. This suggestion is a minor one, about having the IQ documentation with different webpage titles if and when possible.

As shown in the screen-recording (https://bit.ly/3JDb0hx), I'm navigating IQ documentation and getting a bit lost because all opened webpages have the same titles, although the URLs are different.

Consequently, it also affects clipping/capturing of the webpages, since they are got with the same title and need further renaming for proper organization.

Thank you,

Carlos

Quick 'Refile' mode

I often have multiple items freshly moved / pasted to a grid and need to put them under different top level items quickly (via drag and drop with the mouse).

With the recent effeciency increase for drag and drop (easy to drop under parent even when the subtree is folded, plus items are dropped at the top of the subtree rather than at the bottom), this has already become much more convenient.

Global setting to either set default image "width" or auto-fit it in Doc Pane

Hi.

The suggestion is about having a global image "width" setting, that could work like (a) or (b).

InfoQube setting image width

Primarily, the idea is to avoid web clipping images that have larger widths than the usual set for the Document Pane.

Also it may work when pasting larger images from the clipboard.

Re-sizing images in Doc Pane

Minor suggestion for improving image re-sizing in the Doc pane:

Make it possible to re-size the image in one simple step. 

For example, provide an image size percentage box where you can change 100% to 50% to make the image half-size with the same aspect ratio.

We had this before but now the dims are split into two boxes and you have to calculate the new dimensions to keep the same aspect ratio (as far as I know).
