Seeing as there are billions and billions of holds out there and I have imported most of them for a later point in time when I've become unemployed due to playing DROD too much, I'd like to see a jump-to-letter in the "Change Location" menu. I am sure I am not the only one who changes between holds a lot. Then I'd just have to press "j", and I'd at least be pretty near "Journey to Rooted Hold".

I'd also like to see the "Features Request" board divided up into "Technical Features" and "Content Features", but that's probably just me.

While it would be cool to be able to split the two, splitting the forums would be far too annoying.

Thanks to you and others who suggested this. Note there are button hotkeys on this screen, so pressing "C" automatically exits to the menu, etc. So I've added this functionality to the 3.0 engine with a few changes: pressing Ctrl+<first letter> will jump to that item in the list. (Also, Ctrl+<letter> will not activate the letter's corresponding hotkey in 3.0.)

As a bonus, whenever any list box has focus, pressing Ctrl+<first letter> will select that item in the list.
