Replacing the function of hotkey R

Leave it like it is. Both, R and X will activate the RUN Icon
0 (0%)
R shall have a new function and activate the ROM-software-selector
3 (100%)
My idea is even better and I posted it...
0 (0%)
Use R to jump into the RUN-Icon-Menu - even WHEN a file is tagged!

Hello dear people :)

So far both hotkeys 'R' and 'X' call up the RUN icon. (R for RUN and X for eXecute). So far you type r or x and it's like clicking on the RUN icon.

Now my question: Would it make sense to use hotkey 'R' to directly call the X-ROM selector? This new way it would be like first clicking on the RUN icon and then choosing option 4 (to start ROM software)...

An advantage of this would be that you can also call a ROM program with files being tagged already. 
(Up to now a click at the RUN icon or typing R or X would execute a tagged file. Only if no file is tagged the options 1-4 of the RUN icon are displayed).

What do you think?

Hmmm. The more I think about it... it could make even more sense to realize option 4.... 

This means, whenever a file is tagged the hotkey X and a click on the RUN icon will execute it (that's how it is till today).
But pressing R will lead into the RUN menu, even when a file is tagged. This way you can decide between starting a previously launched application again, call a shell or ROM software.

Option 2 would directly call ROM software.

Please let me know what you think.  :) :) :)

Alright, in future the hotkey 'r' will jump directly into the XROM software selector.

The poll remains of - just in case.

Have a great weekend all together  :) :) :)
