space bar should cycle also "text edit" when editing

Status: Declined
This feature already exists in LabVIEW

I like very much the possibility to cycle between "wire" and "select" by pressing the space bar, when editing the block diagram. But usually, I need to edit string or path constants: so I'd like to select the "text edit" tool if I press the space bar again.

The same should apply to front panel editing: cycle should be:"operat value (finger)", "select (arrow)", and text. That's useful to edit labels.

I don't like using the "auto selection tool" when editing BDs or FPs, because you need to be very accurate when pointing the mouse.

This is already in LabVIEW. If you turn AutoSelection off (Shift+Right Click and then turn off the green button) then you can use Tab to switch between the different tools. Autoselection has gotten a lot faster and smarter since 6.1 so I tend to leave it on.
