Keeping attribute table active after panning

celtics08 — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 20:38:06 GMT

Currently using the 3.2.1 version and like the title says I'm looking for a way to keep the attribute table active after panning. I'm using the keyboard arrows then CTRL + N to pan. After panning, the map window becomes active (arrows nudge map). I want to be able to use arrows to just go to the next record so I can pan again. Is this possible? Thanks for any help.

Does @KoryKramer know if there is a keyboard shortcut to give the attribute table focus?

Would you be able to show us a screen recording video using a program like ScreenToGIF? Enable keystroke display in the image tab and save the file as an .mp4.

I can give that a try, but most likely can’t install on my work PC. I’ll check there’s something similar I can use. Thanks for the reply.

There is a portable version that doesn’t require windows admin privileges. I use it at work even though I can’t install programs.

Best way to post the mp4? I'm getting a message that says I don't have permission to post a video.

Maybe that’s because you’re a new member. Does a GIF work? You should be able to change the file type to GIF in ScreenToGIF in the Save As pane.

@celtics08 we're adding an option for you to control this in ArcGIS Pro 3.3 (scheduled for May). It is in the Table options > Activate the map view after using Flash, Pan, or Zoom from the table.

That should give you what you're looking for.
