In a similar vein there is a frustsrating focus issue when trying to quickly
scan thru symbol charts via workspace. To move to the next/prev symbol in
selected list requires re-focus back from chart to workspace and then press
down/up arrow key.
The Alt+R.arrow/Alt+L.arrow hot keys only navigate thru the entire symbol
population which seems of little use to me. IMO it would be far better if
these hot keys moved chart display to next/prev symbol within currently
selected list (set via def pref, workspace highlight or other). This would
also allow us to dispense with the need to have workaspace open just for
navigation.
