Keyboard shortcut for element ID field.

This is just a little wish (not like some of my grand notions which could be years in the making).

In the new Actions part of the keyboard shortcuts I would like to be able to set a key for immediate entry into the element ID field.

I use the ID (as do many others) for many library parts; particularly symbols like partition keys, etc. It would be very handy to be able to type "i" (or whatever) to highlight the ID in the Info Palette the same way x, y, z, r, a, t & b work. It would be entirely OK with me if the "i" key were reserved for this purpose just like the others.

The amount that I use the ID, this would be a BIG help.

I'm agree, and I would like too a larger number of characters for the ID field.

Thank you, Miguel, for reminding me. Fifteen characters is too few. It seems 63 or 255 would be more reasonable.

And the seven character limit on section and detail IDs is also a serious problem.
