Feature Overview:

This update introduces comprehensive arrow key support for the Line Item interface, allowing users to navigate and edit ticket details more efficiently without relying on a mouse. By enabling cell-by-cell keyboard navigation and quick-edit shortcuts, the system significantly speeds up data entry and updates for tickets with multiple categories and line items.

Features/Benefits:
  • Cell-by-Cell Navigation – Use the Arrow Keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to move a focal highlight (yellow outline) across rows and columns for rapid data review.
  • Seamless Edit Transitions – Quickly enter "Edit Mode" using the Enter key and save changes instantly with Shift + Enter, keeping the focus within the navigation flow.
  • Smart Table Jumping – The focus automatically transitions between separate category tables when reaching the top or bottom of a list, ensuring a continuous workflow across the entire ticket.
  • Visual Focus Indicators – A clear yellow outline provides immediate visual feedback on which cell is active and ready for keyboard actions.
  • Standardized Escape Logic – Pressing Esc instantly exits an input field and returns to the navigation level, removing the need for manual clicks to deselect cells.
How It Works:
  1. Navigate to the Tickets section and open any ticket containing line items.
  2. Click on any cell within the Line Items table to initiate the focus.
  3. Use the Arrow Keys to move the yellow highlight between different rows, columns, and category tables.
  4. Press Enter on an editable cell to start typing; press Shift + Enter to save the value and continue navigating.
  5. Use the Down Arrow at the end of a table to automatically "jump" to the next category table, or the Up Arrow to jump back.
  6. Press Esc at any time to return from an input field to the cell-level focus.
