Some functionality I'd like to eventually see in XY's list controls (UDC and List Management).
1) Top / Bottom - Obviously, sends the selected item(s) to the top or bottom of the list.
There's not much room for additional buttons, but this could be in the context menu of the selection or the Up/Down buttons, and with Ctrl+Home/End as shortcuts. This can currently be done via drag/drop but a more keyboard friendly method would be appreciated.
2) Ability to select and edit multiple items.
It would be nice if we could select and work on a group of items, especially in Manage UDC where there is no Edit mode. This would be ideal for moving or deleting, but I could see copy, (un)check, and sort also being useful.
3) Sequential Edit Mode - Like rename in the list.
If you are currently editing an item (Shift+)Tab would move to the previous/next item and remain in edit mode. If not in edit mode it would change the focused control as it does now. Sure it means we'd have to use Enter to exit edit mode, but I think it's a fair compromise.

Don, you saw these and silently added them to your roadmap, didn't you?
