Calendar does not scroll using arrow keys
Last modified: 2013-09-03 09:03:36 UTC
Version: 2.10 Suddestion: Evolution Canendar does not scroll using arrow keys. Use Case: James wants to count 7 weeks from a milestone. He selects the start date in 'Month' view and presses 'Down Arrow' seven times. MS Outlook scrolls Weeks (Up/Down Arrow) and Days (L/R Arrow). Evolution scrolls within the currently displayed date range, but does not scroll and redraw beyond this. Distribution: Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) Gnome Release: 2.18.3 2007-07-02 (Red Hat, Inc) BugBuddy Version: 2.18.0
it does. use control+arrow.
Using the Fedora 7 package of Evolution 2.10.3, I can't see any difference using the CTRL modifier in Day, Work Week, Week, Month, nor List. Using Unbuntu Gutsy, Evolution 2.12.0, CTRL again doesn't make any difference. ALT-arrow doesn't do anything. Could the behavior have changed in recent versions, or via a config setting please? My detailed steps to reproduce: Left side bar -> Calenders Top bar -> Month Top bar -> Today Day selection cursor is on today's date in the middle pane which shows the current month with a few days either side. Up/Down = moves selected day backward/ forward one week Left/ Right = moves selected day backward/ forward one day Arrow keys DO NOT scroll beyond dates on screen CTRL-Arrow shows no difference ALT-Up/Down does nothing. ALT-Left/ Right seems to move week, but the day cursor does not move so the month calender seems to jump each 3, 4 or 5 presses. Best regards, James
i'm running evolution 2.21.x-svn on a fedora platform, there haven't been any changes as far as i know. alt-* does not do anything here, looks like what is pagedown here. my first comment seemed to be wrong, yeah, sorry.
Same Use-Case, Version 2.26.1 Display: Calendar / Month-View Use Case: Robert wants to count 7 weeks from a milestone. He selects the start date in 'Month' view and presses 'Down Arrow' seven times. This would work in Google-Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. In Evolution: Page-Down would jump to the next month having the 1st in the first row. Using the mouse and scrolling would also just jump from month to month. I would wish to have "smooth" scrolling - scroll with the mouse or with with cursor-up and cursor-down from week to week. This is important also because in the end of the month I want to have an overview of the next weeks and not of the last 4 weeks.

Arrow keys to scroll work for me in 3.8.5 in month view.
