Idea/request/proposition:
Keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+<key>) for switching main list to specified sort mode or "sort preset".
Explanation of practical situation:
When I am using PE as main task manager there are some different scenarios of typical use.
For example:
1. Open PE to see what a damn process(es) eats a lot of CPU. In this case I need to switch to sort by "CPU" descending and scroll up to first line.
2. Open PE to find some process by it's exe name. Here I need to switch to sort by "Process" ascending and scroll up to first line. Well, ccrolling up is not nesessary but it is natural to start looking for exe name from "A".
3. Open PE to see processes which have been started recently. Here I need to switch to sort by "Start Time" descending and scroll up to first line.
Without shortcuts any of this scenarios takes many mouse moves and clicks or keyboard inputs and action set depends on last sorting mode PE has. It is not handy for everyday use, I guess.
How it can looks like:
A set of "sort presets". Each preset consists:
- keyboard shortcut;
- sort column;
- sort direction (asc, desc + tree for "Process" column);
- scroll action (leave as is, scrooll up, scroll down).
Thanks!
