Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, when tabbing through multiple fyne widget.Entry form fields, text of active entry will not be selected. In contrast to (most? all?) web browsers - they will select the content when tabbing from one <input type="text"> field to the next; users might be used to this behavior and it's probably more efficient.
HTML form example that displays said behavior:
<form>
<input type="text">
<input type="text" value="test 123">
<input type="text">
<textarea>Foo bar</textarea>
</form>Is it possible to construct a solution with the existing API?
I don't think that it's currently possible, as there are no public Entry methods to e.g. SelectAllText().
Describe the solution you'd like to see.
It would possibly be a rather small change in the FocusGained() method:
Line 304 in 5a3f552
| func (e *Entry) FocusGained() { |
if !e.MultiLine {
e.sel.selecting = true
e.sel.selectCurrentRow(true)
}This would keep behavior consistent with browsers, who also do not select textarea contents on focus.
It seemingly doesn't interfere with e.g. mouse clicking into an Entry -- no selection happening.
If enabling this by default is not desired, having a bool toggle on the Entry widget would be great, too.
