Any chance of getting keyboard activated (in addition to right mouse click) drop downs in the table builder in the upcoming maintenance release?

Like when selecting the Data Type?

There's a Context Menu key (or whatever it's called) on the keyboard. It's located between the right Windows key and the right Ctrl key. I think with the focus and selection at the right place (e.g, in a Data Type cell) this key should do a right click for you.

PITA to have to keep moving to the mouse when building a dictionary.

I totally agree with you, but hopefully the aforementioned key solves your problem.

Well now I know why that key still looks brand new on my keyboard!

Thanks Oystein

It's not going to make 7.0.1, as we're already past code cutoff and about done with testing.

It's on the list for 7.0.2 or 7.1, whichever comes first.

See you in Lost Wages!

John,

Must confess it's one of the least used keys on my own keyboard. Even though I try to use the keyboard as much as possible (and pester people I see fiddle unnecessary with the mouse). Seems that many times I need a right-click the current focus is far away from the target.
