Create a keyboard shortcut to open the detail screen of an item on the Estimate tab

I frequently make multiple copies of items in the estimate tab which I then edit for the specific requirements of the job I am estimating.  While some things can be edited directly on the screen, I cannot edit the name or reference or production or change items within a list assembly without double-clicking the item and editing the detail screen.  A keyboard shortcut to open the detail screen of the selected item would be useful.  I am not a fan of moving back and forth from the mouse to the keyboard if I can help it.

    The hotkey would still be useful to keep from running back and
    forth between keyboard and mouse.


    Thanks!

    Hi David,


    Thanks for the suggestion.  We have made a
    change to the software in the coming 3.8 release
    (due out mid-October) which will allow you to
    expand any list assembly and edit description,
    quantity, base cost, etc... I believe this will
    solve your issues.  Can you let me know if you
    still would like to see a hotkey to the detail
    tabs.





    Thanks,
