This would be a great feature, even Amigas back in the day could hold menus open while making multiple selections (Shift key IIRC). Is it a Windoze limitation?

So there is no way to do it then. If Karl sez it ain't there, it ain't there

I think you're mistaken there mate, none of my Mexican friends could do that
 
 

well if windoze doesn't allow the menu to be kept "open" then it would have to be a dialog box

Back in the day, Windows could have what was known as multi selection combo boxes. IIRC they could be attached to a menu. Been too long since I had to program one.

Maybe it's considered too "old school" now?

Ah I see.

Maybe they could just put the various option in Edit>Preferences then?

Unless there is a workaround, then the F/R beckons.

I find this a major pain as well Steve.

Pfft....... we don't need no steenkin' Feature Request Col.
 
 
They don't seem to take much notice of them anyway.
 
 
Oh no. We need to form an angry mob and march up to the gates of the old castle etc.
 
 

 
 
 

I am also pro Strummy's idea. A way to keep a menu open until one is done with it would be handy.

Last time I got my burning torch to mob up round at Cakewalk it went out when I got into the Atlantic, which was really cold as well. So I gave up headed to the nearest pub and had a few jars while chatting some birds up.
 
I'll leave the mob rule to you lot, I'm off to the pub.

Do mobs march? It seems an oxymoron to me.
