KVS, how cool that you implemented my suggestion! I tried CTRL+PG UP/DN and it's GREAT!
I know that beggars can't be choosers, but I do have four more suggestions for you that would further enhance this already excellent program:
(1) Let's say I'm trying to piece together an itinerary, maybe it's an award itinerary. So I trawl through loads of different city pairs and dates, trying to find that rare open award seat in business class. A-ha! I found something, but it's not ideal. Okay, fine, I'll keep searching, but I'll set that flight aside for the time being and keep looking. Knowing me, if I don't write it down or paste it somewhere, I'll forget it. Currently, if I want to do this, I have to copy the whole thing to the clipboard or WordPad/Excel, including all the flights that came up from that query. This takes additional time as I then need to clean up the pasted data just to leave the flight that I like, plus I have to use another programme when I'd just as soon use the KVS tool only. Solution: How about putting in a separate window, maybe a split window at the bottom of the search results pane, where you can just dump the results of that ONE flight that you like, and then keep on searching, adding other flight possibilities or manually building segments until you get an itinerary you like? E.g., you could just right-click the flight you like best and dump it to the "holding bin" while you keep searching. As you go, you could continue to add more and more flights to the holding bin, and they would be sorted in chronological order.
(2) I find it a pain to have to right-click a particular flight to display its distance and duration; how about adding some columns to the right w/ this info?
(3) I find the "my trips" tab to be really useful, I've got quite a few trips stored in there that I am periodically checking for upgrade space. However, the drop down menu seems to have them stored by when they were saved, not by departure date. Could this be changed so they're ordered by departure date?
(4) Following on from (3), would it be possible to make it so that clicking the green arrow next to the selected saved itinerary not only populates the "Input" tab with the appropriate information but also selects the search method originally used (e.g., Apollo, Wspan, etc.)?
Thanks!
