So is the solution as simply as not making it look like a menu, and instead making it look like the alt-tab switcher?
Yeah, it should probably be an option. But I cannot emphasize how much I HATE having to constantly press enter after everything. To exaggerate, it'd be like duplicating a line would require a Ctrl-D and then ENTER, or to backspace a character, you'd press backspace and then ENTER. It's annoying as hell, and really bad when the key-press is on the opposite side of the keyboard from ENTER. I'd like to minimize how often I have to take my left hand off home-row. I'd settle for a "numbered list" like with the Surround-With menu, or just being able to press the keystroke again to take the "default/top" item. Anything would be an improvement.
