Description Nick Boldt

2009-05-16 00:03:22 EDT

In most dropdown menus on websites, I can click in the field and then jump to the entry I want; for example, if the last bug I opened was in Dash, the Product: field will be set to Dash when I want to open a new bug. (This is awesome, since odds are good I'll be opening another bug in the same place.)

But since in this case I'm opening a bug in Mylyn, it would be awesome if I could tab from the task title field over to the Product field, then hit 'M' to jump to the Ms in the list -- scrolling and scrolling though the list with mouse or up/down arrow keys seems like something that the 'task focused' approach would want to avoid. It seems odd that I can't page up/down either, since that would at least let me navigate through the 15 pages of Products in the Eclipse Bugzilla faster than I can today.
