Thanks Mike.

That would be really great - if you want me to do some testing - please get in touch!

Thanks, that's helpful. I wasn't aware that you could assign the Pedal Action settings could actually do that - I thought they just applied to extra pedals not keyboard keys...
I've set up the <spacebar> to start/stop the metronome - that's great.
>I think most users with a tablet aren't going back and forth between a screen/keyboard though, so the same inefficiencies aren't present.
Yes, I understand that - although I don't think there are that many people out there using windows tablets now compared to windows laptops?
And the same problems that I'm having will apply to a windows laptop using a touchpad or a mouse (or even if it has a touch sensitive screen I suspect)...
>It sounds like you may need the screen with additional key/action mappings to be implemented for this to all work as you desire.

Actually just fixing the searching/song selection on it's own would be a great help to me, because most of the time when I'm going to the Library list ((songs tab) I want to select another song... :-)
I've just assigned the L key to go back to the library when I'm in PDF mode.
So it would be really helpful to have the following functionality:
... but the above would be really useful for me (and maybe some other users)
Thanks for for your help - it's great to see that the App is in continuous development...
Best Wishes,
Shaun

I've just assigned the L key to go back to the library when I'm in PDF mode.
So it would be really helpful to have the following functionality:
- Have an assigned shortcut key to highlight the text in the find song input box (maybe alt-F or ctrl-F)
then pressing <backspace> immediately clears the text and shows all the songs, or entering text starts displaying the filtered results.
If there is only one returned filtered song result, then pressing <return> opens the pdf, otherwise pressing return puts focus on the first of the returned filtered results - then can use the <up> or <down> keys to navigate before pressing <return> to open the selected PDF...
... but the above would be really useful for me (and maybe some other users)
