Easy simplification for working with AF analysis

Working with AF Analysis the following usability enhancements are requested. 1.  Clicking on an analysis variable to edit it would automatically put your cursor at the beginning of the variable string.  Current behavior is: you click on the analysis which then expands into a kind of drop down which you then have to click on to begin your work. 2.  Creating a new analysis or analysis variable would position the cursor in the Name area as a starting point.  Don't know about everyone else, but I like to name my stuff as I'm working.  Current behavior is: clicking to create new analysis there is not a default starting place for the cursor and you have to click the name box to get started.  Clicking to create a new variable puts the staring point of the cursor in the box for entering your function.  Please start with naming the variable.

    Hi Scott, can I get a screen shot of what you're describing with #1? I'm trying to visualize what this "...kind of drop down..." you're describing.

    In response to Stephen Kwan, "Hi Scott, can I get a screen shot of wha..." Hi Stephen. Thank you for taking a look at this. I was slightly off on my first request in that the default behavior on clicking the function expression expands the expression box with the cursor positioned at the end of the string. I work with mostly one or two line expressions. I think it would be nice that when the expression box expands for editing, the cursor would be positioned at the place I clicked.   Here are some screenshots: Say I want to edit the attribute I am using in my EngBRunningYTD calculation. Out of habit from using other tools I click at the place I want to insert the cursor to do some editing.   …and this is the result     I think the standard for cursor placement is that it will appear at the point clicked. I actually can’t think of a tool that doesn’t do it that way. Years of time on tools that function in the way described require me to adjust the way I edit my work when using PSE. I understand this wouldn’t necessarily be a big issue for large multiple line expressions but for smaller one line editing the change in PSE would be pretty nice to see.   Again, thanks for checking in with me on this request.   -Scott
