I'd been lamenting cygcheck-dep not getting updated for the new dependency declaration methods, but noticed these new options when I ran the installer yesterday, and was very appreciative! > - Add Ctrl-I/R/U as keyboard accelerators for > install/reinstall/uninstall in the package chooser (thanks to Christian > Franke) I am also very grateful for this, too =E2=80=93 I'm a keyboard monkey and I find the current package selection process somewhat tedious =E2=80=93 but I= 'm also wondering if there's a way to make it more obvious. I think a lot of folk would benefit from this function who probably aren't reading these announcements, including all the folk who sign up in future. I can think of a couple of obvious options, namely adding instructions in the grey areas above or below the chooser, or adding the shortcuts in brackets in the package selection drop-downs, but fundamentally I'd just like to have it suggested somewhere other than the mailing list archives for future users. > This is not the place for setup feature requests. Having probably just broken that rule, can you clarify what _is_ the place for setup feature requests? Neither https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html nor https://cygwin.com/lists.html seemed to suggest a better option=E2=80=A6
