Sounds interesting. I fear there may be many nasty side effects with the existing menu code - not because the patch is bad but because the menu code is very touchy. I need something to play with (I don't have a mouse wheel). > It still leaves a gap in how to allow for the menu scrolling with > keyboard. I'm open to suggestions. For the moment, you could just translate some key combimation like ctrl-alt-Up/Down to a button 4/5 event. At the moment I need something to play with - we can look for the final solution later. > >Please stick to 79 characters per line. > > > Will do. How are tabs counted?
