Topic List # Limit - BERNARD MICHAUD - 12-12-2018 03:03 PM
While expanding the EE_Analysis program, I discovered this limitation.
The Topic list is usually preceded by #1...9,A.......> Z? However I noticed that when the list exceeded M, the numbers 1 to 9 and Alphabet completely disappeared from the list. Why cannot the whole alphabet A ... Z be used? The only option is to navigate to the topic.
Has anyone ever made a program where the list exceeded M topics?
The only recourse is to shorten the list by bunching related categories similar to folders and sub-folders as is already used on some of the topics.

Because the "hotkeys" are then covered by the 1-9 keys as they are the same as the alpha letters.
If you put a number in your text, the user can simply type to search by number if they want. Or they can press alpha and search that way.

Thanks Tim
In other words stop staring at the screen and check the keyboard.
There is a difference between seying and seeing.
