UI Guidelines
=============

Keyboard shortcuts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qt has a `list <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#StandardKey-enum>`_
of 'standard' keyboard shortcuts which can be used for inspiration.

- **F2**: edit current value in-place
- **Alt+F2**: open separate editor (e.g. Parameter value editor)
- **F3**: search
- **Alt+F4**: quit, close without saving changes
- **Esc**: close, exit without saving changes
- **Ctrl+Enter**: accept dialog


Action names
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- **Edit...** should open an external editor, e.g. Parameter value editor in Database editor.
