Hi, New structure navigation functions are useful, but the key assignment could be improved. For instance, in Amaya 9.2.2, F5 meant "reload", nut in Amaya 9.3 RC F5 means "select first child". I do not like this change. F5 is used as "reload" in main Windows browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera) and I suppose most users are used to this behaviour. In the same way, the F1 key assigment to "Select previous" is not a good idea, because F1 usually opens the Help file. AFAIK, browsers use the following F* keys: F1: Help F3: Search F4: Opens address bar (IE only) F5: Reload F6: Next frame (window <-> address bar) F7: Caret browsing (FF only) F10: window <-> menu F11: Fullscreen I do not know if users are used to use all these shorcuts, but Amaya should try to not use them. Then, it is not easy to find four free keys for new functions. A possible solution could be: F2: Select parent Shift+F2 or F12: Select first child F8: Select previous F9: Select next Best regards, Bartolomé Sintes (http://www.mclibre.org)
