Re:Can I define a shortcut for a cascaded submenu scenario?

After doing a bunch of edit filter EQ automation, I have a workflow improvement suggestion.
SONAR (X1 Producer Expanded) allows you to hover over an envelope and Shift-Right Click, and the two most recent envelopes (but only two) will be selected, one per right-click, back and forth, like a "toggle" function. If you want to make another (pre-existing but older) envelope active, but if that one is hidden under one of the two most recently-accessed envelopes, you have to go to the Tools menu and do 5 discrete click/hover operations to get down to the complete list of 27 ProChannel Track EQ automation functions and select the only you're interested in:
Tool menu > Edit Filter > Automation > PC-Track EQ > envelope of interest
Wouldn't it be better if SONAR would rotor through ALL the existing envelopes, one per Shift-Right Click operation, instead of limiting the user to only the two most recently accessed? Thus far in my projects, I typically don't have any more than 4 or 5 automated envelopes per track, and so Shift-Right Clicking through them would be much quicker than doing the 5-step menu walk.
Did X2 change this behavior?
