Access Keys for Tab Menu of Move/Copy/Backup To

[TheQwerty]

I think the Tab submenu of the Move/Copy/Backup To commands needs some access keys to improve keyboard navigation.

As it stands the user has to move to the arrow keys or press the first digit of the index multiple times to select a tab.


This could be improved by making the last digit in the index an access key, as it would require fewer key presses for most practical matters.

I even have numbers to back that up, but I'll spare you unless asked.

Okay, I can do that in 10 seconds so will sneak it in.

That's the part i don't understand. Or was it a dadaistic joke?

Great! Thank you!

A bit of a joke - wouldn't say it has anything to do with dadaism, though.

I did some calculations on which method would result in fewer keystrokes and was going to share that data but decided to spare everyone the numbers unless asked.

Basically it boils down to an access key on the ones digit results in fewer keystrokes, in most cases, until you have 50 or more tabs. I doubt there's many (dare I say any?) people who open and manage that many tabs in a single instance.

Ah, I see. I did read too fast and thought you would spare me the numbers that I should put the accelerators on!

BTW, I also added accelerators to the "Tab List" popup menu. Good idea. I had already applied this to the History menu since years. So it got even more consistent now.
