Tab through Quick Drop results

[David_Staab]

If my fingers have to leave the home row while using Quick Drop, a lot of the speed benefit of that feature is lost. When coding in LVOOP, I find that I often have to manually select the instance of a dynamic dispatch VI from a list of identically named instances. Right now, I have to use the mouse or the arrow keys to navigate the results list. Why not tab and shift-tab through them instead, allowing my hands to stay in place so I can use the appropriate keystroke (CTRL+I or CTRL+P, etc.) after selecting the method I want?

Not sure whether it is the lack of caffeine, but when I try the quickdrop insert in LV 2013, it works exactly as bad as the native insert function in this case. I suppose the QD shortcut uses it underneath. I was hoping for better. Case at hand:

Large memory footpring data structure:

 

Insert New Data Value Reference:

Of course if I take a minimum of care to position my mouse a bit lower, I get the correct/hoped for result:

but come on! Connecting an arbitrary type to the only other connector (an error input)? Can't we do better than that?

BTW, slightly out of topic, it would be nice to be able to insert both the New Data Value Reference and Delete Data Value Reference at once, AND not get this annoying nonsensical broken wire:

which really is nothing but this:

again!

Not sure we already discussed this one:

Ctrl-Space Ctrl-R gives this:

Not sure about the logic? I definitely did not expect it.

X., can you post these latest two issues to our long NI Forums thread with Remove and Rewire issues, as opposed to posting them on this Idea Exchange thread? Thanks.

Not sure why I ppsted that here. I'll move this over to the endless thread.

The first issue doesn't have to do with "Remove" though...
