Description
I am giving this to David initially because he mentioned this during a group meeting and suggested some ways to improve the Shortcuts preferences tab.
Currently it is a bit awkward to use.
To repeat, try to use the shortcuts interface to set COMMAND-SHIFT-EQUALS as a shortcut for increasing track label font size.
Note that if you make a mistake while entering the shortcut, it is very tempting to type the "delete" character.
However, if you do that, the DELETE key is entered as the putative shortcut.
If you click the clear button, then your selection in the table disappears.
Probably there are ways to improve this aspect of IGB.

I am assigning this to David initially because he mentioned this during a group meeting and suggested some ways to improve the Shortcuts preferences tab. Currently it is a bit awkward to use. To demonstrate, try telling IGB to use the shortcut COMMAND-SHIFT-EQUALS as a shortcut for increase track label font size. Note that if you make a mistake and type delete, the DELETE key is entered. If you click the clear button, then your selection in the table disappears. Probably there are ways to improve this aspect of IGB. |

I have added many improvements.
1. I have simplified how a user interacts with the table by including the functional text field in the column instead of just a representative text field.
2. I have added row selection preservation.
3. The delete and backspace keys are now triggers for the clear action.
