Scrolling lists from the alpha keyboard when creating instruments

Hi,

When creating a new instrument, a list of instruments appears in a dialog. To select the last item in the tree you have to use the mouse. There is no way to scroll down the list using the arrow keys on the alphanumeric keyboard.

I would find very comfortable to be able to continue selecting from the keyboard, instead of having to raise my hand and grab the mouse (trackpad, in my case).

If you’re talking about the instrument picker in Setup mode, then you absolutely can use the arrow keys. Hit Tab to move the focus into the list of instruments, and then use the arrow keys. Hit Tab again to move the focus into the list of variants, if any are listed.

It’s true! Thank you! For some reason, I didn’t notice something so obvious.
