Most important is ^I for program info, which should bring up the info
window that RISC OS 3.10 hides 3 levels deep... This is pretty good as it
is, but if it actually *COUNTed applications when it was invoked (rather
than claiming they were 2048 bytes in size!) it would be better still...
And for applications, it could also use a !Info file to hold the author's
name, comments, etc. for display in the window, a la Macintosh.

Well, obviously you don't end up with the caret in filer windows as often
as I do! I thought they might have done something about it in RO 3.10, but
it's still just as easy...
;-)

Simply placing the caret in the window when you select something in it is
all that is necessary, in the normal RISC OS fashion (And we are talking about
a complete replacement for the filer, so it's not as if this would be a
problem).
