Feature name mapkey

[heepofajeep]

When creating a new feature, I would like a mapkey that automatically opens the 'properties' dialog tab, clears current text, and then sets cursor to the beginning.

This way, I can create a new feature, and then quickly name it to maintain organization.

mapkey p ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `chkbn.x_extrev_properties.0`1 ;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Input `x_extrev_properties.1.0` `PH.name_ip` ``;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Update `x_extrev_properties.1.0` `PH.name_ip` ``;\
mapkey(continued) ~ FocusOut `x_extrev_properties.1.0` `PH.name_ip`;






but u have to delete the content to write.

Thanks!

Except it seems I still have to move the cursor into the dialog box; if I have to do that, the mapkey is not very worthwhile. I don't mind having to delete the text, if I can do it with the keyboard, but I really don't want to use the mouse.



I really want to be able to name the feature without moving the mouse to a specific location.
