Who uses the snake trail feature? Please vote.

We are considering how to enable direct entry of decimal numbers into a table without having to type in a leading zero (currently to enter say 0.87 lambda in the lambda target table you have to type in "0.87", rather than just ".87").  However for many years in Link software the "." and "," keys have been used as keyboard shortcuts to show/hide & pause/resume the snake trails so this use conflicts with being able to use these keys for direct text entry.  

None of us at Link use the snake trail feature much, but we realise others may.  This poll is to try to get a feeling of how widely it is used and if changing the short cut keys would effect many users.

I would submit that if it was more adjustable in length and available as a logging trace that I would use it more.  Maybe others would use it more too if there were some changes to how it worked?

[Adamw]

The snake trail length is already adjustable, this is done with the sample history setting in Pc logging setup screen.   Not sure it is needed when looking at logged data as the table crosshairs follow the log cursor to show exactly where you were working in the table.

Have changed the shortcuts to Ctrl + '.' and Ctrl + ',' will be in the next release.

Thanks all those that gave their opinion.  I will now close the poll.
