Use cases - double click on diagrams
« on: February 23, 2023, 05:18:18 pm »
Hi,

I have just switched to v16.1 of EA from v15.2. I see that after double clik on use case on diagram instead of clasic properites dialog the structered scenarios page is opened. I understand that it is because for use cases is defined "special action" - structured scenarios.

Is it possible to switch off this feature?

I remember that is was possible in some previous versions of EA but now I cannot find such option.
For users who don't use structured scenarios (like me), it's frustrating to see them after every double click.

Double click has changed its behavior over the time. Years ago, if you doubleclicked an element in the Browser, it opened the Properties modal window. Years later, the double click on the Browser open a diagram if the element exists in this diagram and only in this diagram; but if the element has child elements, the double click expand the element content...

I didn't know about the particular behavior for use cases, but I suppose there are so many options for double click, that I don't think you can customize it (but not 100% sure)

Hi q2

Like Mauricio is saying: Double click has changed its behavior over the time...

For use cases, you cannot customize it, it will open to the scenario.

Use Case -> right-click - Properties -> Properties

It will be nice a shortcut key like -> Ctrl+6 for summary, where you can see the summary Notes

In this case to open the Property window
Best regards

Hi,

Yes, it seems that double click is not customizable.

Shortcut Alt + Enter open Properties as well but finally I have assigned my own shortcut to open this dialog more comfortable (without necessity to move hand from mouse to keyboard).
