pjohnmeyer	Posted - Jun 26 2008 : 3:54:18 PM In the case in which alt-o causes a list of files to pop up, it would be a significant improvement if hitting 'o' again (while alt is still held down) would go to the next item in the list for me, so that I wouldn't have to move to the mouse or the arrow keys. It would be even BETTER if releasing the alt key made the selection, so that I did not have to hit the enter key to pick a file. In case any of that was unclear: Keystrokes: alt + O List comes up, Alt key remains down O Selection moves down, wrapping to top, Alt key remains down ALT Alt key is released, window switches to selected item. Thanks for your time, pj

tom_seddon	Posted - Jul 03 2008 : 10:25:48 AM +1 for this idea too. I like the sound of the whole thing, yes, Alt+G included, and I have been using Visual Assist for many years. Whilst on the subject, another as-yet-unimplemented request from the "move your hands less" department: http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5073 :)

pjohnmeyer	Posted - Jul 02 2008 : 10:01:51 AM Just to update, there are other keyboard commands that could benefit from this same feature, like Alt-G.
pjohnmeyer	Posted - Jul 01 2008 : 09:16:23 AM Seems reasonable; one is a breaking change while the other is not. Although I'm a current user, and I certainly wouldn't be annoyed. :D
accord	Posted - Jun 29 2008 : 6:14:08 PM I like the first part of the idea, so I have put in a feature request to see what our developers make of it: case=18061 The second part of the idea also makes sense, but changing the current functionality would annoy current users, and a functionality like this (accepting without enter) is very uncommon when using standard menus.
