Key select of type in Formula tool

[SeanAdams]

When creating a formula with the formula tool, it would be useful to be able to quickly tab into the data type column, then press D for Double and select this quickly.

Right now, you cannot use the keyboard to quickly type-ahead in this field, so every double field requires you to select, drop down, move the mouse to the bottom of the scroll window, click scroll down, then mouse back up to D for double.

(or "S" for Spatial etc - this is standard for most drop-down boxes)

Thanks for the feedback. We have some dropdowns that are searchable and some that aren't. You bring up a good point. We'll consider that as we design more features and interfaces.

Thank you for your idea! We're working to update and improve the keyboard experience across the Designer product as a whole, including functionality such as this. We'll update this idea again once our new keyboard experience is close to release.
