Insert Time and "Enter" Key.

Post by mylkoa » Fri Dec 02, 2016 8:02 pm

Just a minor suggestion for convenience:

When using the "Insert Time" command (command + i, on my mac), it would be nice if the "Ok" button was automatically highlighted - allowing the user to type in a number of bars to insert and then simply hitting "enter" to execute the command.

As it stands now, we can type in a number, but we have to move the cursor to hit okay... so having "Ok" already highlighted, so all one has to push is "Enter", would create less mouse work.

Many thanks!

It does work if you hit "enter" twice. I agree though, that's not expected behaviour. Normally you would at least be able to use the tab key to go from the input fields to the "ok" button.

I've never used that pop-up dialogue - I prefer just making a selection and hit ctrl+i.

Just got around to reading this. Hitting "Enter" twice is good enough for me - and I wasn't even aware of the selection method. Thank you!
