Awesome that Matrix is here to stay! clap-clap!

- Please bring back :: support, please please please! Not being able to use shorthand syntax is debilitating (20 years, as you've said yourself ).
- Please think of users using TAB to navigate. A good example is the Calendar not being displayed (yes I understand we still need to click dates but it's one less click every time).
- When switching from rt to multi-city would it be possible to pre-populate the first 2 legs with the rt information like in current Matrix?
- Is there any way to use dynamic scaling for the page? Many of us use 1920px or higher horizontal res and currently much of that is just space wasted.
- Would it be possible to implement a non-animated and/or barebones css layout (with less whitespace all around)?
- Selecting nearby airports: would it be possible to select the current airport and not "near me" by default? On changing the radius it also resizes the box (and thus the radius bar) with each change, leading to changing the radius bar, leading to...
- Dates: when clicking the return date could you pop up the calendar with the return date? Same with tabbing over them.
- Maybe a "reset" option would be useful that clears everything in the search box. "Clear all's" functionality is not immediately obvious.
- Is there any way, as has been asked, to turn basic fares on/off? I know it's not as simple as some suggest (like some carriers proactively disabling branding options in some GDSs for example) but if there's a way you could hack it that would be the most welcome addition ever.
- It has been a pet peevee of mine for years but would it be possible to implement O:[CX###], as in operated by carrier-flight_number? With the joint ventures and other stuff sometimes a flight can have 5-6-7 codes and this would simplify some searches a lot (including less searches to begin with to get the actual flight numbers for all possible marketing carriers).
- Exclude itineraries option where primary RBD is not available? (ie USA-India through EU booking into C and Y respectively and popping up as a "business" option).

All in all great that we can keep using Matrix and a YUUUUGE thanks to all the people who made this possible. <3
