TJ,
I did say
> > selected list (set via def pref, workspace highlight or other).
Meaning you could for example:-
a) define your preferred default list via preferences.
b) highlight required section of symbol tree via workspace (and then close
workspace).
c) have a list selction tool in toolbar - just like symbol selection tool.
AB already displays currently selecetd section of symbol tree in status
line.
Many users want screen real estate maximised for chart display . It's a case
of being able to navigate quickly thru a user selected list of charts with
minimum key/mouse clicks.
