[jira] [Created] (UIMA-2137) Quick type selection dialog should
only show displayed types
Quick type selection dialog should only show displayed types
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: UIMA-2137
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2137
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CasEditor
Affects Versions: 2.3.1SDK
Reporter: Jörn Kottmann
Assignee: Jörn Kottmann
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.3.2SDK
The Quick Type Selection dialog currently shows a list of all types in the type system.
This causes two issues:
- A user can add an annotation of a type which is not displayed in the Annotation Editor
- The dialog is unusable for really large type systems
To enhance the dialog it should only show the types which are displayed in the Annotation Editor, display means annotation types selected inside the shown annotation types or the mode type.
The key short cuts should be defined on the entire type system and not only on the shown types in the dialog, because otherwise a user might gets confused when they change depending on the shown types.

Lets create follow up issues, so we do not forget about the short cut
problem.
The selection handling was designed to only select things in the current
mode, its at least behaving as intended, if that still makes sense is a
different question.
When I first created the Annotation Editor I had a strong need to edit
one annotation e.g. add/correct annotation names in many documents. Over
time that changed, but the annotation mode stayed there and was extended
with an ability to show multiple types. So if you have good ideas here
how to improve things, we are happy to listen.
The selection handling is actually quite an interesting question,
because it must be clear to the user what is
currently selected, because actions are performed on the selection. E.g.
delete annotation, or change annotation bounds.

Works great. I agree on maintaining short cuts as defined on the entire type system, it's only a minor inconvenience in the case that no shortcut could be assigned.
If it was possible to somehow prioritize which types get assigned shortcuts, even this minor inconvenience could be avoided.
Also, the edit view does not switch to the just added annotation, unless the annotation type corresponds to the current mode.
