Suggestion concerning the 'mate-dialog'

IMHO the mate-dialog misses at least two improvements:
- If operated with the keyboard (m-key) the focus upon opening the mate-dialog should be in the drop-down-menu were one could select the type of mate and not in the connector-field (which cannot be controlled via the keyboard anyhow), because going ahead via tab is then easy, and you could keep the cursor in the area of the mates them self.
- This mate dialog should have the possibility to operate on consecutive mate-ing operations - not just one.

When you are in a mate dialog and you want to save the extra clicks of accepting the current mate definition and then hitting 'm' (or worse still, going to the icon to re-invoke it), just hit SHIFT-ENTER!
Wow right? Yup, that key combination works in any dialog - it accepts the current entries and re-invokes the command.

this is a great tip, worth being mentioned in the official documentation on https://cad.onshape.com/help/index.htm#keyboardshortcuts.htm
<br>Thanx a lot for this.So:
- re-opening the last dialog: checked
- still need some mouse action in this re-opened dialog for allowance of e.g. limits: unchecked
This needs to be updated to really have the same dialog re-opened - including additional parameter fields !Re your second point about the mouse - would you please type a few words of explanation or description of how you think it should work? Thank you.
