In-Depth Information
Clicking on the
Edit
icon or link brings the following panel, which is similar to the
data entry panel (except for the lower part):
In this panel, we can change data by directly typing (or by cutting and pasting
via the normal operating system mechanisms). We can also revert to the original
contents using the
Reset
button.
By default, the lower drop-down menus are set to
Save
(so that we make changes
to
this
row) and
Go back to previous page
(so that we can continue editing another
row on the previous results page). We might want to stay on the current page after
clicking
Go—
if we wanted to save and then continue editing—so we can choose
Go
back to this page
. If we want to insert yet another new row after saving the current
row, we just have to choose
Insert another new row
before saving. The
Insert as
new row
choice—below the
Save
choice—is explained in the section
Duplicating
Rows of Data
of this chapter.
Moving to Next Field with the Tab Key
People who prefer to use the keyboard can use the
Tab
key to go to the next field.
Normally, the cursor goes from left to right and from top to bottom, so it would
travel into the fields in the
Function
column (more on this in a moment). However,
to ease data navigation in phpMyAdmin, the normal order of navigation has been
altered; the
Tab
key first goes through each field in the
Value
column and then
through each one in the
Function
column.
