Opal Feature Requests

I find myself wishing I could move a topic in any direction from the keyboard, not just left and right, but up and down as well.  I figure that would require some combination of arrow keys and "flavor" keys for all four directions, and that it would be more intutive than the present left/right setup.  Command-[ and -] would have to be kept for historical reasons, or maybe not ...

So then I check for updates, and it's in there ... but not with arrow keys.  I think it might be a bit harder to use with the letters, though easy to remember.

Arrow keys are pretty heavily targeted by the Human Interface Guidelines, for changing the selection in various ways.

Right, but are the option-command-arrows spoken for globally?  I've gone and tweaked those into Opal with Keyboard Shortcuts  and we'll see what happens.  So far I like the orthogonality of it.

No, but Opal uses them for navigating up and down siblings.

Ah, yes, I see how that works.  That's good.
So I'm switching the move up/down/sideways over to command-control-arrow.  Any colissions there"  I don't think so.
