Hello George,

I have two requests for DBT 10.5 which would, in my opinion, go a long way towards making DBT act like most other Windows applications.

1. Allow the use of Control+F6 (and Shift+Control+F6?) to cycle through all open DBT documents. Now, we must go to the trouble of bringing up the View menu and selecting the document we want from the bottom of the menu.
CONTROL-TAB & SHIFT-CONTROL-TAB will cycle through the open documents .


2. In the Save File dialog box, make the File Name text box a combobox, perhaps with the name of the last-saved file already filled in. Now, we must type the file name from scratch. So, if I've saved a DBT print document, then translated it to Braille, I am forced to retype the entire file name again, even though, in most cases, I want to use the same filename as the print document, except for the file extension. Having this field filled in and/or being able to arrow down a list of recently-saved files would be a great timesaver and prevent typing errors.
I'll second this one. Although auto-complete can help (not sure if this is courtesy of Windows or Dux), I often have lots of files with similar names. So it would be great if Dux could "remember" & offer a default suggestion for a name of a dxp file based on the imported file name, or a dxb file based on the name of the source dxp file.
