Maybe I've been spoiled by gmail, but hotkeys in fogbugz are useless for me.

My scenario is this: about once a week I go through and triage the new bugs in the database. Also, once every few months I go through and triage old bugs/feature requests. This results in a long period dealing with the fogbugz interface non-stop. I really wish I could blow through my bugs as quickly as I can blow through email, but the interface is slowing me down.

The problems I have with the hotkeys basically all boil down to every hotkey being chorded with ctrl-;

It would be great if I could just make that a modal toggle, so I could enter more than one hotkey at a time. Even if it has the little popups everywhere over the UI all the time, I don't care. It would make dealing with lots of bugs at a time much less painful, and I wouldn't need it all the time, just when using fogbugz a lot.

Or something else that makes going to the next bug in the filter and closing it more like "ky" and less like "ctrl-; ] ctrl-; r ctrl-; o". "]ro" would be great. Scrolling through the list of bugs from "ctrl-; ] ctrl-; ] ctrl-; ]" to "]]]" would also be useful.

I feel the opposite way: I love that FogBugz has a way to show the shortcut keys, and that I cannot accidentally press any. – Michel de Ruiter May 25 2010 at 8:51
@Michel de Ruiter: It appears that having a modal toggle would make both of us happy. – tfinniga Oct 26 2010 at 20:33

FogBugz stack exchange should have custom rules for voting. Since it's used to vote features up/down, everyone should be able to vote up/down and not require specific reputations. Or perhaps on this site you should be able to get a few hundred rep for associating your fogbugz.stackexchange.com account with a FogBugz on-demand account or license. That way registered users automatically have enough rep to vote. – Samuel Neff Sep 17 2010 at 5:30
I tend to agree. can you post this as a question here with the meta tag? I'll open a case and see what we can do. I'm not sure how much control over the actual stackexchange code we have – adambox Sep 17 2010 at 19:00
