Ok, Demosthenes,

the guys got you wrong :-)

We thought you mean a running application, not the IDE.

Tried this here. You are right, each time I click on another element, I 
have to search for "Name" and click it again to get its text selected. 
Is this what you mean?

Confirmed, it does not react as expected.

Hm. The IDE is coded in Gambas itself (is it?), so it should be possible 
to achieve this via catching the keystroke the way Matti described. Or 
did Benoit mean, the GridView/TableView doesn't allow for catching the 
keystrokes here?
