Me too. I'm not sure whether that can be tweaked somehow.

Nested tables in ncurses are not working yet. We are implementing them
from scratch. The bright side about that is that we are in full control
of the look&feel..

Yes, double clicking in a device should likely open that dialog. I
forgot to mention that in the demo (I really tried to keep it below 3

be easily solved. If I would have called the option "Show Details" or
"Description", nobody would have notice anything strange. ;-)
