Idea Proposal: Enhanced Table Locking and Copying Features in Lucid
Objective: To improve the usability of tables in Lucid by allowing users to lock table positions and dimensions while still enabling others to copy text from the table's fields.
Problem: Currently, when a table is locked in Lucid, it restricts all interactions, including copying text from the fields. This limitation creates challenges when sharing documents with others, as they may need to access the content of the table without altering its structure. Unlike other platforms like Google Sheets, Lucid does not offer the flexibility to lock the table layout while allowing content copying.
Proposed Solution: Introduce a feature that enables users to lock the position and dimensions of a table while still permitting text within the table to be selected and copied. This would maintain the integrity of the table's structure, preventing accidental modifications, while ensuring that the content remains accessible to others.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Collaboration: Team members can easily access and copy the necessary information from tables without risking unintended changes to the table's format.
- Improved Usability: Similar to widely-used platforms like Google Sheets, this feature would streamline workflows in Lucid, making it more user-friendly.
- Increased Document Integrity: By preventing changes to the table's layout while allowing content access, documents shared with external partners or clients maintain their intended structure.
Conclusion: This enhancement would significantly improve the functionality and flexibility of tables in Lucid, aligning the platform more closely with user expectations and the capabilities of similar tools.
