2. The palette also does not appear to work with Context Help.

We're not planning to implement this functionality for the LabVIEW 2023 Q3 release because we expect the Quick Change Selection accelerator to be used primarily by people who are familiar with the palette items.

Because my cat likes to claim my left arm (cat arm).

I know, not a big issue, but almost everything I can do without my left arm.

Without your left hand how can you tab through the tools? Oh that's just me and a dozen other people around the world?  Okay nevermind.

I do still use the keyboard, CTRL+Drag, CTRL+ALT+Drag, Shift+click, etc.

With sticky keys on, I can press one or two modifier keys (sequentially or simultaneously) with my one hand (left or right), and then use my pointing device (pen or mouse) with the same hand.

Tabbing through tools (yes, I had to do that for a decade too) still works with one hand. It might be slow, but it is possible.

On the other hand (😊), if I have to press a key while moving or holding the mouse, it's a problem. Same with pressing W when dragging out of a structure. It isn't just slow, it's not possible.

You'd need two (free) hands for this.
