Hi Steem-programmers,
I think this is a good idea, but please don't forget to combine the
simultanious pressing of the Shift- and CTRL-Keys to the List, because I'm
unable to define the keystrokes for PAGE-UP/DOWN (2 shortcuts for Shift +
UP/Shift + DOWN). The first time it works, but in autorepeat mode only the
UP/DOWN key works.
Best regards,
Norbert
