I'm looking in to Kx Analyst as an IDE and a few of our users have begun to it, and will be collating a few feature requests in this thread. Please can these be assessed and considered as improvements to the IDE?
2022.10.21
- A Linux-like SIGINT function for the Windows instance of KX Analyst, so queries can be cancelled. Use case example being if I run a query against a busy HDB, I am locked out all my scratch pads entirely until this completes when ideally I'd like to be able to cancel the query and connect to another HDB
- Ability to open multiple Kx Analyst sessions on a single machine (eg iteration of the port defined on creation)
- Integration with git bash; when cloning a repo via Analyst, git bash doesn't recognize the repo location and vice versa. Plus believe not all of the "git bash" commands are covered in the Analyst UI.

- Add configurable "folders" to the Connection Manager, so that a user might more easily sort their connections (eg splitting regions and environments)

Sorting columns by clicking the column header does not work on Inspect tab. 2 distinct bugs:
- When opening as a new window (ctrl+i), sort (double click) works once for descending but then subsequent sorts do nothing - would expect it to go to ascending, and then back to original order.
- When opening as a tab in same window (ctrl+shift+i), sort does not work at all - seems to try to run the original data request instead of sorting the variable which has been defined
- An additional feature request for Inspect tab (ctrl+shift+i) would be an option for subsequent "inspect"s to go to the same tab, instead of opening a new tab each time.

Is there a chance of a non-browser based version of the API? Users (including myself) are finding the clashes with Google Chrome shortcuts to be frustrating at best.
Thanks

Thanks Phil, I'll share this thread of requests back with our R&D team.
Kind regards,
