Davening Hot-Keys

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hotkeys to jump directly to a file.
This would be particularly helpful if you were looking for benching or 
similar non-time based items.
The hotkeys could be user defined or set by the program.

Are you looking for a hotkey to open what is now the "other" file?  Or to jump 
to a
particular location within a file?  To jump within a particular file, the 
left/right
keys (also 4/6 on most phones) will jump back and forth between predefined
"navigation points".

I've been considering a secondary menu within the file for the non-time based 
items.
 Probably using the number keys (and potentially the touchscreen for those devices
that support it).

Support for hotkeys from the initial screen will require much more effort, since
there is no way to receive key input from a Form.  Switching it to a Canvas is
possible, but will require much more work to handle all the painting and input. 
Also, changes will be much more difficult than using the Netbeans UI.  One
possibility may be using something like J2ME Polish.  Possibly worthwhile, but 
I'm
not sure how hard it will be to integrate their build setup with Netbeans.  
Last I
checked, it did not seem straightforward.

My current plan is to add more categories of such items to the main chooser, 
and also
to add the ability to jump or expand the desired text.  I think that the same 
UI that
we'll need to deal with other variable options (e.g. beit avel) will work well 
enough.
