Hi Allan, this got buried in another thread so I'm reposting.
When several commands have the same shortcut a tooltip list appears and one has to scroll down and then hit enter to choose one.
Wouldn't it be convenient if by default the topmost element in the list would be selected? This way, it would be sufficient to hit enter in order to choose the first element (one keypress less in many cases). But maybe you have reasons not to like this idea.
Thanks, Piero

While we are asking for stocking stuffers, it would be even nicer if this topmost element were dynamic -- the previous choice one made!

The first 10 options are associated to numbers, so you can press a number to pick an option immediately. Also, you can type the first couple of letters of your desired choice, and will be taken then.
Unless I misunderstood what menu we are talking about.

Right, that's pretty close :) Pressing enter is faster but we are talking fractions of a second here

It’s a standard menu -- not much I can do with it (without venturing into under documented, crash-prone, and OS version-specific Carbon code).

As someone else mentioned, it is possible to press 1 to select first item w/o using return.
