In Windows File Explorer, Alt + double-click on a file or folder pops up that item's Properties page. It is equivalent to right-clicking and selecting Properties. This is a useful, time-saving keyboard shortcut/gesture.

The same keyboard shortcut/gesture should work in the Project Explorer. Executing the shortcut would pop up the Properties window of whichever item was double-clicked on.

The shortcut should work for lvclass and lvlib items, VIs, and CTLs (and possibly other item types too). For lvclass and lvlib items the Properties window would appear. For VIs and CTLs the VI Properties window would appear (equivalent to Ctrl + I).

Let's Encrypt is an Certificate Authority (CA) that provides FREE TLS certificates for people and organisations to secure their websites and servers. Their certificates are valid for a maximum of 3 months, but client applications can automatically update the certificate when due.

It would be very nice to have this functionality in the NI web server. Exipiring certificates are cumbersome to manage.

When selecting a set of object that are from the same class, I'd like to be able to change some of their main properties at once from the right click menu.

For instance, when selecting a bunch of numeric controls, being able to change all their representation to U8 without having to open the property page (which sometimes take some time to load.

This could be done either via the r.click option, or even via the properties page that would show that it is for more than 1 item. Via the property page 

From the property page, it would be nice to have the possibility to easily change their label and caption independently and faster (using tab) than to have to change them manually by double clinking on the labels, hoping to not click on the side of the box.

This happens to me all the time:

This could be a viable option in my opinion (Please excuse my poor designer capabilities):
