Feature Request: Enable Right-Click Paste in Quick Add Screens
Summary:
Introduce support for standard right-click context menu paste actions in quick add grids, alongside existing keyboard shortcuts. This will make pasting data more intuitive and accessible for users who rely on mouse interactions rather than keyboard shortcuts.
Problem Statement:
Currently, users can paste data into quick add screens using the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut, but there is no right-click context menu option to paste. Users who are not familiar with keyboard shortcuts may assume that pasting is not supported in these grids at all, leading to confusion and slower data entry. This inconsistency with common UI patterns creates a usability issue, especially for less technical users or those with accessibility needs.
Proposed Solution:
Add a standard right-click context menu to quick add grid cells that includes at least a “Paste” option (and optionally “Cut” and “Copy” for consistency).
When a user right-clicks on a quick add field or cell, display the context menu and allow paste operations using the system clipboard, mirroring the behavior of Ctrl+V.
Ensure the context menu behavior is consistent across all quick add grids and supported browsers.
If technical or browser constraints limit full native context menu customization, consider an inline “Paste” affordance (e.g., icon or helper text) when a user focuses on a quick add cell, to clearly indicate that pasting is supported.
Benefits:
Improves usability for users who rely on mouse-based interactions.
Reduces confusion by aligning quick add grids with familiar UI patterns.
Speeds up data entry for users unfamiliar with keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+V.
Enhances accessibility by offering multiple input methods for the same action.
Increases overall user satisfaction by making quick add workflows more intuitive and discoverable.
