Ability to type in drop down lists please

[Hippo]

As is standard on most GUIs, it would be extremely useful if when a drop down list is highlighted the user were able to start typing the required entry to get to it quickly.  Since some lists can contain tens (or even hundreds) of entries it can be extremely time consuming to have to use the mouse wheel or scroll bar to find the entry the user is looking for.

Also, the ability to use the TAB key to step between fields would be extremely useful too.

Please.

Thank you.

P.S. For the love of all that is holy, UNDO functionality please.

I've only just noticed that I can be in e.g. the triggers editing screen with a trigger in the list highlighted and that if I type a letter e.g. "S" it takes me out of that section and takes me to ship placement!!!

I think that before my original request can even be considered the whole mission editor needs a complete redesign to bring it into line with basic GUI standards that have been around for decades.

I'm sorry if as a ME dabbler I'm preaching to the ME veteran choir.  I'd better stop there as I can feel my blood pressure starting to rise.
