Topic :
Text coding and shortcuts
Let my try to answer your questions:
- do shortcuts exist for: "New code"; "Rename code"?
Ctrl-N serves as a short cut for New Code in the Code Book (you list of Master codes). Ctrl-R is the shortcut for Rename buy currently (version 3.0.3) only applies to renaming individual codes in the Study Window and not Master codes in the Code Book.
- is it possible to directly rename a code clicking on it (like renaming a file on Windows, Mac OS, or softwares)
No. But this is a great suggestion for a future version of HyperRESEARCH.
- can copy and paste possible when creating or renaming a code? If so it would avoid having to write the code group's name inside the code again and again
No. This is also a great suggestion for a future version of HyperRESEARCH.
- is it possible to choose the codes order in the code book and not having to put 01, 02, etc. ("01" and not "1" as it is binary, and "10" appears after "1"); when filtering, choosing the order would also be great
Codes are sorted alphabetically, so the characters 0,1,2,3,...,9 are treated alphabetically rather than numerically which is why '10' sorts next to '1'. There is no current options for the codes to be in any order other than alphabetical. You can place codes in Groups, but codes in a group will be alphabetical within that group and the groups will be listed alphabetically.
- can the groups stay closed when asked and not re-opened each time a "shift" happens?
I assume you are referring to actions that change the Code Book, like adding a new code, when you refer to a "shift". Yes, it would be nice if closed Code Groups remained closed when a new code is added or other code book action is taken instead of all reopening again. You have discovered a bug. Thank you. We will seek to fix this in a subsequent release of HyperRESEARCH.
and - I know it is not possible - it would be great that the code groups' names appear when filtering. Indeed, "01. Location" can be asked for different professional activities...
I am not sure what you are looking for here. If you Filter Codes by Name or by Criteria and select a code, the dialog window that appears shows the code groups. Are you looking for the name of the group the any given code has been placed in to be displayed on the Study Window in a column alone with Source, Type, and Reference OR are you looking for something else?
Or are you looking for an option to show the Group a code belongs to in Reports?
You have made a number of observation for features that would improve HyperRESEARCH. I am sorry that theses features are not in the current version. Your suggestions will be considered in subsequent releases. |
