| 08:02:50 | Marc V | What version? |
| 08:03:22 | * Shakeeb Rahman | APEX 18.1 introduced the new apex search |
| 08:05:32 | Tschredl | Nice feature! |
| 08:08:30 | Paul | is it already in or are there any plans to add the spotlight search functionality (or something close to it) to any of the packaged applications? We'd like to implement a similiar search functionality to an APEX application we have |
| 08:09:15 | Scott Wesley | there is a plugin available |
| 08:09:26 | Christian Rokitta | Are these keyboard shortcuts OS-aware? |
| 08:09:31 | Scott Wesley | https://github.com/Dani3lSun/apex-plugin-spotlight |
| 08:09:56 | Paul | cheers scott |
| 08:11:55 | Sven Weller | What is the keyboard shortcut on a german keyboard? |
| 08:11:58 | Kyle Hu | In Page Designer, open Spotlight Search, and enter "shortcuts" to search, you will get "Keyboard Shortcuts" that shows a complete list of all shortcuts available in Page Designer |
| 08:13:49 | Sven Weller | It say Ctrl+Quote, but that doesn't seem to work if quote is mapped so that shift is needed additionally. |
| 08:14:00 | * David Peake | Sticky filters is one of my favorite features! |
| 08:14:21 | Scott Wesley | using the search like that will get around the fact we need to scroll back down as we jump between components |
| 08:14:23 | Paul | it used to stick automatically before 5.1 |
| 08:14:29 | Prashanth Raju | Its very usefull one David |
| 08:14:30 | Steve | Sticky filters looks very cool, love it |
| 08:15:09 | * Doug Gault | @sven - like most web based applications, APEX can't know if you've mapped keystrokes on your computer to other things. |
| 08:15:53 | * David Peake | Sticky filters works between pages so for example you might be wanting to change Page Authorization you can navigate from page to page and just see that page attribute |
| 08:15:55 | Peter Raganitsch | @Patrick: when can we get help-text for Attributes in Popups, like the Link Builder Popup? |
| 08:16:40 | Paul | ah cool, I hadn't realised that David! It is better than the pre 5.1 sticky then! |
| 08:16:45 | Scott Wesley | don't we have a tabular form to maintain multiple pages for properties like that? would be great for those to get a re-vamp |
| 08:17:17 | Olivia Ding | ctril + space ? |
| 08:17:33 | Jayson Hanes | is there a way to disable autocomplete for quotes and parenthesis? it makes me sad. |
| 08:18:00 | Tschredl | F5 refresh worked. |
| 08:18:51 | Sven Weller | ALT for block selection is much better than the solution in SQL Developer.! |
| 08:19:19 | Scott Wesley | I missed how alt-block was activated? |
| 08:19:26 | Scott Wesley | from 18.x only? |
| 08:19:33 | Juergen Schuster | What does Patrick use as shortcut on his Mac with German Keyboard to invoke Spotlight? |
| 08:19:52 | * Shakeeb Rahman | You can hold [alt] or [option] then click and drag in the code editor to make a column selection. |
| 08:20:08 | Sven Weller | @Scot: Just press ALT during the selection. |
| 08:20:34 | * Hilary Farrell | @Peter - the help text associated with the popups like the Link Builder is visible in the 'Help' tab when you select the attribute in PD. For example, the link 'Target' - selecting that attribute in PD will display its associated text in the Help tab....and then launch the popup dialog to define the link. So then you've got the associated help visible when you use the popup |
| 08:20:36 | Scott Wesley | simple, awesome |
| 08:21:02 | Scott Wesley | code sample in help are a HUGE help - keep improving! |
| 08:21:11 | Eric | the help text really helps |
| 08:21:26 | Eric Olson | Column selection works even in 5.x. I had no idea that was there! |
| 08:21:44 | Scott Wesley | I'll be playing with that tomorrow! |
| 08:21:52 | Sven Weller | I also feel the help texts in 18.x have been improved a lot. Good job! |
| 08:21:53 | Peter Raganitsch | @Hilary: that isn’t any good. Check out Button - Behavior - Target |
| 08:23:15 | Scott Wesley | anyone find tabbing down editor attributes not always quite right? sometimes hopping back up to address bar |
| 08:23:42 | * Hilary Farrell | @Peter - that's a good example of one of the attributes that we need to improve its help text. As Patrick was just saying, we've been making a big effort to improve help text for all of the attributes......but some may have escaped our attention. I'll make note of that, and we'll endeavour to address that in a future release |
| 08:23:51 | Eric Olson | @Scott Yes that happens to me and it's annoying. |
| 08:23:51 | * David Peake | @Scott - If you can produce a test case we would happily review |
| 08:24:16 | Scott Wesley | I'll put it on OTN next time I stumble on it - fairly frequent, just can't remember off-hand |
| 08:24:48 | Bela Thinsz Stockholm | CTRL-key |
| 08:25:12 | Paul | could you also possibly note the ability to turn off autocomplete in the code editor after it got so many +'s earlier? |
| 08:25:30 | Jerry Sidler | @patrick ctrl selects single.. I use it all the time wonderful for making changes to several elements |
| 08:25:53 | Sven Weller | @Belo: CTRL = single add selection, SHIFT=range selection |
| 08:26:08 | * Hilary Farrell | @Paul - don't worry, we're taking note of all feedback we're getting here |
| 08:26:20 | Scott Wesley | good feature of forms carried through - alt/shift components |
| 08:26:32 | Paul | Thanks @Hilary :D |
| 08:28:03 | Sven Weller | On apex.oracle.com the popup lov for selecting a page is extremly slow. Even if the application only has a few pages. |
| 08:28:27 | Scott Wesley | dynamic action awareness on component has been on-point, thank you |
| 08:28:32 | Ross Henderson | On the context menu, can you consider adding a "create x" of the item. I believe there's a chrome plugin that does this but I can't remember it. |
| 08:29:06 | * David Peake | @Ross - What do you mean by ‘Create x’ ? |
| 08:29:26 | Erick Diaz | It'd be nice to be able to edit Template Options while selecting multiple items, I hope to see this in a future release |
| 08:29:34 | Eric Olson | @Ross You can highlight 1 or more page items and use Duplicate to make more. |
| 08:29:37 | Ross Henderson | @David I.e. Being able to create multiple items at once. |
| 08:29:47 | Sven Weller | +1 Erick |
| 08:29:48 | Scott Wesley | Erick - so totally yes, but sounds tough |
| 08:30:14 | Marc V | Are these mostly ver 18.? ? |
| 08:30:31 | Paul | @Ross, I use the + button then select 'Form Region' and Form on a SQL query as a way to add a bunch of items at the same time |
| 08:30:41 | Eric Olson | @Marc Many of these are available in my 5.2 instance. And I'm just now leaning of them. |
| 08:30:48 | Scott Wesley | another test case I need to document - sometimes creating/duplicating dynamic actions, then generating opposite action, things go weird. Can't save. |
| 08:30:49 | Peter Raganitsch | The FOEX Developer Addon (Chrome/Firefox Browser addon) adds a “Bulk duplicate” option, among others. |
| 08:31:22 | Ross Henderson | @Eric Yeah that's how I do it now. @Paul I'll have a look at that now, cheers. @Peter That's the one I'm thinking of, thanks. |
| 08:31:29 | Jayson Hanes | =O |
| 08:31:41 | Olivia Ding | How to edit the Colomn and Colomn span in Layout seciton . It is hard to align the items for me... |
| 08:31:56 | Jayson Hanes | THAT IS AWESOME! |
| 08:31:57 | Sven Weller | @Scott I had this as well. I now avoid duplicating DAs. Had some really weired non-reproducable behaviour. |
| 08:33:06 | Scott Wesley | I save carefully |
| 08:34:15 | Jayson Hanes | where are these JS scripts? I didn't catch the code you pasted |
| 08:34:50 | Angel Flores | I hear is in his blog, that JS scripts |
| 08:34:51 | Paul | http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2016/12/22/remove-component-view-from-apex-page-designer/ |
| 08:35:16 | Jayson Hanes | Thanks, Paul! |
| 08:35:44 | Eric Olson | That's nice. I always seem to want to click on something under a tooltip. |
| 08:36:33 | Scott Wesley | I've supressed tooltips with a css browser plugin |
| 08:37:46 | Pete K | Tooltips were always getting 'stuck' hadn't spotted that they can now be turned off. Hooray :-) |
| 08:41:41 | Sven Weller | Can we develop an application in 18.x, export it and import and run it in 5.1? |
| 08:42:04 | Jayson Hanes | REPOST: In code editor, is there a way to disable autocomplete for quotes and parenthesis? it makes me sad. |
| 08:42:05 | Erick Diaz | Am I the only one scared of the Advisor so close to the Delete Page option? Especially since the Advisor it’s mostly used for new pages with no backup |
| 08:42:09 | * Joel Kallman | @Sven - no, you can't |
| 08:43:00 | Chris O'Hagan | That is a great tip. Going through that hell right now. |
| 08:43:06 | CUNEYT TASLI | wow! Thanks David |
| 08:43:16 | Peter Raganitsch | @David, to get a better overview you should use the page-listing and add the authorization column ;-) |
| 08:43:18 | Pete K | Nice tip, David! |
| 08:43:29 | Daxlai | it is really very good session. appriciate |
| 08:44:00 | Olivia Ding | How to edit the Colomn and Colomn span in Layout seciton . It is hard to align the items for me...Where is the Grid in the developer tool bar ? |
| 08:44:03 | Rodolfo Rodriguez | Any way to copy regions with all their components between pages? |
| 08:44:11 | Eric | a suggestion for a future office hours, what are the best practices for version control |
| 08:44:14 | Rodolfo Rodriguez | Thanks |
| 08:44:35 | * Hilary Farrell | @Olivia - it's in Page Info > Show Layout Columns |
| 08:45:02 | Rodolfo Rodriguez | Very useful Thanks! |
| 08:45:03 | Prashanth Raju | Whats is the main use of Caching option in a Page? |
| 08:45:08 | Jayson Hanes | is there a way to copy items with DA's, such that the copy has the same DA's? |
| 08:45:10 | Paul | do validations and da's attached to the items get copied too? |
| 08:45:11 | Eric Olson | Yes, version control is a big problem. Source code control, diff-ing, that sort of thing |
| 08:45:20 | Marc V | I have inherited a legacy application. Is there a good way to document the application? Even just tracing the page flow would begin. |
| 08:45:21 | CUNEYT TASLI | How can we change item heights? |
| 08:45:50 | S Boorsma | thnx |
| 08:45:54 | Alastair Steele | ta ta |
| 08:45:55 | Paul | thank you |
| 08:45:55 | Ross Henderson | Cheers everyone |
| 08:45:56 | Nagesh | thanks |
| 08:45:58 | CUNEYT TASLI | Thanks |
| 08:45:59 | Jayson Hanes | thanks Patrick and David! (and everyone) |
