Double-click to expand a row

[thibc4]

Hi,

Currently, to expand/open a row to see the different fields within it, we have to click on the small black arrow icon located on the left of the banner.

I think it would be great to be able to expand a row by simply double-clicking anywhere on it.

Hi @thibc4,
Thanks for the request. I think you are speaking about expanding a row on the Discovery table, am I right? If that is the case I will label that issue as enhancement for that.
Can I also ask you what is the version of kibana you are currently running?

Hi @markov00,

Yes, that's right.

I am currently running Kibana 6.7.1

Thank you.

I would be a bit cautious about introducing a double click pattern (which we don't have anywhere around Kibana right now) in that single place. In general I don't think double click is a common (or intuitive) pattern among web applications. But I would highly appreciate some design input on that @cchaos

Re: design input, I would agree that a double-click here is likely not the best solution.

That said, I understand the point about making it easier to expand rows and believe we could come up with alternative improvements. I suspect people are using double-click to copy text - in this case, to copy keys and values from the table - which is more reason to avoid this interaction here.

I would suggest renaming this issue to something along the lines of improving, or making easier, the interaction to expand rows.
