Entering boats in sailnumber wizard

Hi.

It's nice, that the sail number wizard has been fixed some time ago,
so it don't say unique, if there is more possibilities.

But there is a new "problem," which I know I'm not alone to have.
If there is two boats with sail number "256" and "2569" and nr. 256
comes first, you enter it in the field, and then you have to break
your typing to take the mouse, and point out "256" in the top of the
list, and then you can continue.

My question is:
Could the sail number wizard automatically pick out the first on the
list, so you can make one floating typing on the keyboard, instead
of now where you have to switch between keyboard and mouse?
I do know, that where there are similarly numbers you have to change
manually, but in this chase, where one has three numbers and the
other have four, it's a little bit annoying.

Best regards
Steen, Denmark

Hi,

I agree it would be nice to find a solution to this one. I must say
sailwave is a great program and this would make it even better.
Just a suggestion but maybe pressing "space" could terminate the
input and select the first one in the list. It would be nice to not
have to switch to the mouse.

Thanks Jon

Hi, all!

The solution here is that Sailwave “preselct” the first boat on the list, Just as proposed by both John and Steen.

It would be a nice feature!
