Suggestion: Toggle Boolean Checkbox

[MEB]

It would be nice to be able to toggle the boolean checkbox from the keyboard instead of having to move to the mouse to do it.

Agreed; we'll add this to our bug/feature list.

In the meantime, a workaround is to change the checkbox display to a "T/F" display and you can then edit these directly from the keyboard. The downside is, of course, you lose the nice little checkbox display in the field.

To change the checkbox to a T/F, go to Tools > Options and select the Datasheet tab. In the View and Formatting section, uncheck the last item "Use check boxes for Boolean Fields". This will convert your display from checkboxes to a simple "T" and "F".

However, we should have it so that, if in checkbox display mode, clicking a "T" would check the box and clicking an "F" should uncheck the box.

Thanks for the feedback!

Even better would be to hit the space bar and the checkbox toggles to the opposite value!

Sounds good, I'll suggest it to our devs. Thanks!
