Jumping to value field and selection

Hi,

Maybe this a Mac vs. Windows thing, but I would find it very useful if this worked as it usually work on the Mac.

When jumping to a value field, for example a MIDI channel number in the Play page, the value is not selected. The input cursor is positioned at the end of the existing value.

This makes quick editing much slower. If the value was already selected, one could simply type the next number. As it is, you have to first select it.

I suspect they make it do this deliberately, and I don’t like it either. This happens with some fields in Properties too. Perhaps the reasoning is to protect against overtyping the existing value, but that’s exactly what I expect to be doing when I Tab to a field!
