Totally agree.

Has this been mentioned to the devs? Need me to make it an official suggestion?

Recap: It would be very useful if the left and right arrows change cities in the Product Detail report. It's pointless to move the map view in a report window.

Woohoo! 1.992!
  • It seems that once you enter any report screen -- Stocks, Firms, Persons -- Up/Down does nothing on most screens. However, Left/Right moves the city view map. This is inconsistent. Left/Right should also do nothing. However, it would be nice if in the Product Detail report, that Left/Right could change cites just how the arrows work on the main screen. (Could also apply to any other reports that have a city selection box.)
  • Once you are in the Product Detail window: When you select a new city, you are still cycling through the products only available from the old city from which you entered Product Details. This is impractical. We would want to cycle through the products available only in the new city. There could be the moment of change that shows you were on Ice Cream when you switched to the new city, so I am showing you that you have no Ice Cream in this new city. However, now when you click Next or Previous, I will only show you items in this new city.
Thanks.

Edit:
  • related, when you use 'r' key to enter the Product Detail report, you do not necessarily see the products of the city from which you hit 'r'. Rather, you see the city you were last looking at in Product Detail. While maintaining the last data is very useful for some reports, in the case of Product Detail it makes little sense. Having a keyboard shortcut is not a shortcut at all if I still have to find a firm, enter it, and double click a product in order to get the the Product Details for my current city. When I press 'r', I should go to the Product Details for the current city. Thanks again.
