Hi Michael,

>> Actually, it should actually be behaving like that already - for example if you have the mesh dialog open and you hit Tab to move focus into the first field, it will highlight all the text.

I knew this one.

>>an available input field to put it into.

This was the one I was after. If the blue highlight was there it would be obvious that you can type and it will appear in that box. This would follow the standard windows convention, fields highlighted with blue background will receive the text input. With no highlight most users will click in the field to make sure it has the focus as this is required in most other apps. Of course then the num pad pops up and you've lost the TAB function.

It was just a thought to make this a little more obvious. Looks like it doesn't work that way though.
