Since keystrokes were brought up, this seems like a reasonable time to
make the following seemingly simple-to-implement feature request:
Navigating a multi-level menu structure seems to require use of
UP/DOWN/ENTER/ESC. It would be easier to quickly search/navigate if it
could be done with fingers stationed on the arrow keys so that the eyes
can stay focused on the screen.
Current (disliked-by-me) behavior:
LEFT ARROW: Jump to top menu entry (same as HOME and PAGE UP)
RIGHT ARROW: Jump to bottom menu entry (same as END and PAGE DOWN)
Preferred (requested) behavior:
LEFT ARROW: Return to previous menu (same as ESC on a submenu)
RIGHT ARROW: Enter submenu (or no action if not on a submenu entry)
Thanks,
Alex
