WinBox files for Windows, Linux and macOS are available here:
put "heartbeat" like in od WB3, in right upper corner? or call it as you wish ... but, problem is that in WB4 i have no visual indicator that device is disconnected. So, you make a mistake, missconfigure something and you have no visual indicator, except interface list where numbers are changing rapidly. But, hey ? should i keep open interface list only to see if device is alive ?
give back CTRL+M (comment) or make COMMENT as first selected field.
Yes, there is a rare chance that first highlighed field is what you need, so pressing TAB is almost mandatory. From this point of view, why forcing users to SHIFT+TAB (one field UP) to fill comment? It is akward that first selected field is 2nd field
If the connection to the device is lost, the time / uptime on the status bar will stop ticking. If you look at the status bar and the clock & uptime is still running. then you still have a working connection.
When connected to a CHR with 7.23beta5 it keeps printing this on stdout/stderr:
WinBoxImpl,INFO: tx keepalive msg
Lets see if the other messages are gone now.
Remember that when people start WinBox using a shortcut on their desktop, messages printed on stdout/stderr are sent to the syslog or journal. That sometimes amounts to >1 gigabyte of output here. Not good.
The "Settings" itself its a "flyout" GUI element and those by convention are dismissed by focusing (clicking) anywhere outside of the flyout, on any other part of the window.
30 years of navigating Windows GUI starting with Windows 3.11 conditions the brain to work in a certain way and that, it seems, is impossible to "unlearn".
Those flyouts appears in more parts of Windows itself now, like the one that appears when you click the area on the taskbar that have the volume and network icons. We can argue that the popup volume slider in older Windows is also a flyout.
As more parts of the UI (not only Windows, but other apps too) allow you to have immediate commit / feedback of the action taken (change / toggle a setting) without a cancel / apply button, the flyouts replace what previously used modal dialogs. The way the are shown and dismissed is like with context menus, but they can contain more kind of UI controls than just menu items, with more complex layout too.
Yes it is the same with the “workspace” dropdown. When you click on that you can select another workspace, but there is also a “save” button. When you click that the workspace is saved (without any indication…), but the dropdown does not disappear and you have to click somewhere is to make that happen.
