Allow closing Edit Comment with Enter

Post by Asam »

I use descript.ions a lot. They are very useful for quickly categorizing, or tagging some of the images for later mass operation. In XnView Classic it is easy and fast: press ctrl-D, type the description (which would typically be a single character), and press Enter. In XnView MP this does not work because newlines are considered to be part of the description. I don't expect I would ever want to have a description with newlines, and if for some reason I would, I'd be very happy to use ctrl-Enter to provide those, as in XnView Classic. I do realize alt-w can be used, but it's surprising how much more difficult, slow and error-prone it is compared to Enter. I suppose that's because it requires repositioning the left hand.

Therefore, please either change the Enter behavior to match that in XnView Classic, or make this configurable.

Write has Ctrl+Enter (on numpad) shortcut, not Ctrl+Return
