[amibroker] Feature Request: Organizing the Realtime Quote Window

hello all,
 
i would like to request a little feature that would help to give a more user-friendly way to organize amibroker's realtime quote window.
 
at the moment, if you want to add/remove a ticker to the RT quote window you have to do this individually right-clicking on every symbol you want to get in/out of your RT window. if you always trade the same stocks that would be no problem, but if your watchlist/tradelist changes often it means a lot of mouse clicks. - every day i scan a large US database to then have a watchlist of some 40 stocks that are my trading candidates. this watchlist changes every day, sometimes gradually by adding/removing a few stocks, sometimes by having a completely different list.
in order to not run into IB's 100 RT limit, i will then have to individually do "remove from RT Quote window" on the old list and "add to RT quote window" on the new one. this is very tedious and unless there is some other way i don't know of i would like to request a feature that would enable me to do this with just a few mouse clicks.
just like in the assignments organiser, where you can move groups of stocks from one market/sector/industry/watchlist to another it would be very nice to change RT quote window assignments.
 
here is another scenario: i would like to build an intraday database of european stocks via IB plugin. the backfill works very nicely, problem is the 100 stock limitation, which in my understanding applies not only to RT stream but to backfill as well. if i could change the RT qoute window without hundreds of mouse clicks i could first backfill the 100 most liquid french stocks, then change RT assignment, (probably then shutdown/reconnect IB plugin), then backfill the 100 most liquid german stocks and finally backfill another 100 UK stocks. wouldn't that be possible?
 
i hope there are some more AB users interested in this feature request, which i humbly submit to you tomasz.
 
best regards,
dirk
