... For new installations, it'd be great to have the most suitable (in most cases, the most recent) version shown as the first selection in all those pulldown version lists in the "New" columns. The logical order would be "the preferred (latest) version", "the version previous to that" ... "test version(s)", and then all the actions like "Uninstall"(grayed out), "Skip" (checked) etc coming last, so that one doesn't have to hover different distances when selecting the packages.
Doubleclick in "New" column toggles between "Skip" or "Keep" and the "preferred version". Ctrl+I selects the latter.and moves to the next row.
... For existing installations, in the "Unneeded" view it'd be best to have the packages' "New" dispositions as "Uninstall" rather than "Keep", which they presently have showing by default.
Changing a view should never change the current package selection.
So that one does not have to go through (sometimes quite many) packages in that view to mark them all.
Press and hold Ctrl+U to select "Uninstall" for all. Then change to another view and back to "Unneeded" to see more possible unneeded packages.
If someone wants to retain some, it's easier to change those few back to "Keep".
Ctrl+K = "Keep", Ctrl+R = "Reinstall". -- Regards, Christian -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
