Free Label Quick Change - Enable Scrolling and or tabbing.

Status: Declined

You can use the arrow keys or type-ahead. You don't need to move the mouse to the list to select.

At the moment the quick change plugin leaves the cursor where the label was. In order to select the control type, you must move to the list and select the type manually. It would be nice if the window captured the mouse focus and moved the cursor through the items with the scroll wheel. This would make the operation much quicker. An alternative would be to allowing tabbing through the items and use the space bar to select the desired item. Both of these options eliminate the need to aim with the cursor. For the scroll wheel options, bonus points if it returns the cursor to the label position when finished.

The Quick Change dialog does have key focus when it appears. You can use the up and down arrows to select an item. You can also use type-ahead. This is consistent with other dialogs, like Quick Drop.
