inputselect - preselect one item without using checkboxes

[highend]

Can you add a small tweak, please?

inputselect()
allows us to preselect item(s) by putting a "+" in front of it's item name (with style = 2).

It would be great if we could do the same without using checkboxes.
The first found item is used (if more than one item is found that uses a "+" in front of it)...

This shouldn't break existing scripts

I'd like that one too. When the script calls for only one item being selected and you are using checkboxes, if you want to change the preselected/pre-checked item, the user must unselect the checked one and reselect another one. So when not using checkboxes, it would be better if the script has one item preselected, but the user wants to select a different item, simply clicking on the other item would be enough to select it and when that happens the original item selected would be automatically unselected.

I think it would break scripts where captions begin with a "+".

But I have found another solution.

You're right. I was only thinking about files + folders, not about arbitrary data that could use a leading "+"...

Thanks Don for granting wish and highend for asking.
