Google Chrome - Ver 23.0.1271.97 m, a performance feature
Posted: 16 Feb 2013 12:01 PM |
On Windows 7, I notice a good feature of Chrome. It might perform the same on other Windows releases.
When one is at the bottom of a screen and the TAB is pressed, the screen will update and place the current line in the middle of the screen instead of only refreshing the screen to the next available line on the current form.
I don't know if you have any programming control of this function but it would be good to see it propagated to the other browsers if possible- a definite time saver. Thinking of moving to Chrome but my favorite browser for everyday use is Firefox.
Thank you. |

Hi Keith,
Can you give me an example of this so I can see how it works in Chrome? I'm not sure I'm following you.
Thanks,
Amy |

I am entering a Quick form.
I habitually use the TAB key when it is faster than placing my hand on the mouse.
As I enter data into the form, the TAB key will advance down the screen to each field that is available for data entry.
When the TAB reaches the bottom of the screen, the next TAB will cause a screen refresh and place the current input field at the center of the screen instead of advancing only one line down the form.
One can now see more of the form and what is coming next. It is not necessary to use the mouse to scroll down the page/form.
Hope that is clearer. |

Hi Keith,
I see what you mean. So when you tab through to the bottom of the screen, if there are more fields below, it brings those to the middle of the screen when you tab through. I suspect this is native to Chrome as I've not seen the other browsers necessarily function this way on any website.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Amy |

Thanks Amy - good to know that you can see the effects.
As I mentioned originally, I don't know if you have any programming control of this function but it would be good to see it propagated to the other browsers if possible - a definite time saver. Because of this, I am thinking of moving to Chrome but my favorite browser for everyday use is Firefox.
Can you bring this to the attention of the developers? Ask Brian. I'd like to see it propagated to the other browsers.

Hi Keith,
Absolutely, I know Brian keeps up with these forums diligently, but I will also bring it up to him at our weekly meeting so we can discuss it. Thanks!
