Feature request: A fill down button for dataview.

When monitoring a range of user defined memory, it seems like a huge waste of time when I have to go through typing them all out, or, going through pasting and then editing the index...
Just enter the FIRST element of the range, then hit CTRL+ENTER on that cell.  Continue to hit CTRL+ENTER to get a bunch of elements in a range.  This feature is also in DirectSOFT's Data View.

You can also go to the next STRUCTURE FIELD (e.g. T0.Acc, then T0.Done, then T0.Zero, then T0.Timing, etc.) by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.  You can also EXPAND all the key STRUCTURE FIELDs of a Structure element by hitting the same CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER on a structure ELEMENT (e.g. T0 will then expand to T0.Acc, T0.Done, T0.Zero, T0.Timing, and T0.Reset).

To learn all this cool stuff in a Data View, RIGHT CLICK on an element/cell to see the context menu for THAT element.  This includes these short cuts, but also creating Trend View from the contents of THAT Data View, sorting, exporting, et. al.

Right Click is very powerful feature in Do-more Designer, like in various nodes of the Module Browser and various instructions and elements in the Ladder View.

Trust me, don't feel bad.  There's so many things in DirectSOFT and Designer that long time users do not know is there (e.g. various hot keys, F9 for seeing what elements are valid in any element field, right click menus, ...).

We tried very hard to point out many "hidden" operations be listed in the right-click context menus.  Hence why I highlighted using right click in most of the various views - just right-click anywhere to see any possible features in THAT context.
