Convert to option in the takeoff selection pane

As a long time OST user I am used to selecting the takeoffs in the takeoff window and then right clicking the takeoff I want to convert to in the selection pane to convert. Can this be added?

I've been on OST for 10 years, now a zzTakeoff convert. You know the space bar in OST, epic right. Well now you have to use the "N" key for that.

This feels in the same vein, the convert to in zz works wonderful and I wonder if we can get use to this new workflow. Same thing, just a hair different...with the big disclaimer that my takeoffs need to be sorted by the grey folders in that window....right now only yellow folders work.

I agree at some point we'll have to accept that zzTakeoff handles things different than OST, but this one feels like it would be quicker because it's slightly less clicks and less fishing through a context menu.

I think it might also be slightly beneficial to be able to use the arrow keys on the keyboard and/or tab after typing to select the takeoff you want to convert to.

@ Victor

Went nerd mode on you, so apologies. Here is a 1 min vid on why I think its setup awesome. LINK

I agree, zzTakeoff is knocking it out of the park with these features. This one in particular, even. I just think they could be tweaked to make them even better. I have a minor annoyance of having to remove my hand from the mouse to type then move my hand back to the mouse to select. I would like to be able to confirm the selection through keyboard actions.
