Open subVI by pressing Enter

Status: Declined

I brought this up briefly in this idea...

 

I ocasionally find myself pressing enter to open a subVI that is selected on the block diagram.  I think it'd be nice if this action actually worked. 

 

I have since tracked down how I get myself into a situation where it's easier to click enter than double click the mouse...

 

From any VI I hit ctrl+shift+E to get me to the project. 

I then type "main" to get me to Main.VI (this is when I leave my mouse)

I then press ctrl+r, which brings up the error window because some other vi is still broken. 

I press enter to go to that subVI. 

I press enter to open that subVI, and am stuck.

... and if multiple VIs are selected, would you want all of them to open after pressing enter?

That's not a use case I find myself in using the above method, but....probably?  It makes sense that it would.

 

Additionally, Ctrl+Enter should probably open up the block diagram to be analagous to ctrl+double click.
