Greetings. New user of BMC64, and really enjoying it so far. I've had the Super Snapshot garbled text issue that others have experienced, but it only happens occasionally so not too concerned with that one.

I do have two new ideas that I would like to someday see implemented in a new version of BMC64. I read somewhere that Randy unfortunately doesn't have much time to work on this project anymore, but I can understand that as real life has to come first.

Anyways, here are my ideas:

1) I find that after spending a lot of time initially adjusting settings, the thing I enter the menu most often for now is to attach a disk image to use with the system. Would it be possible to add a hotkey definition that would jump to the directory selection screen for attaching a disk to drive 8? I guess if this was added, the other drives 9, 10, and 11 could have their own hotkeys too, as well as ones for attaching a tape and cartridge. (Attaching cartridges would be most handy for me with the VIC-20 system.)

2) If these new hotkeys were added, would it be possible to add 8 more hotkey key combination assignments to be able to use the shifted functions keys, ie: Control or Commodore + F2, F4, F6, and F8?

Thank you for consideration, and for a great product!
