Goodness, thought it was just me - thanks to all.
Maybe I can try mentioning another long standing niggle, the only way to get to a set of Preferences - e.g. Tweaks… is by clicking on an icon.
I get into Preferences via Ctrl+P, I then have to use a mouse (or some other point and click device) to open the Preferences I want.
One solution would be that the Preferences panel had a hierarchical context menu that I could access via the keyboard using the ≡ key or Shift+F10, it would pop something like this.
Code:
Interface→
Look & Feel
Behaviour
...
Conversion→
Input options
Common options
...
...
...
Advanced→
Plugins
Tweaks
...
Template functions
With luck that would also allow frequently used Preferences to be added to the Favourites plugin.
Aside - the Preferences panel reminds me of Windows 3.0 Program Manager
