Hi,

I notice that one of the "upgrades" for 5.0 has been to elliminate
hotkeys from some dialog boxes, such as the axis control box, or column
properties. You used to be able to hit Alt-O (for OK) to close the dialog
box. Now you must click on the button with the mouse. When you are very
familiar with a piece of software it is much easier to use these hot-keys
than to keep moving the mouse around. At least the Set Col Values dialog
is still closed with Alt-D, but I suppose in v6.0 that will be gone too.
Does anyone know if these hot-keys can be recovered?

It's nice that Origin is now consistent with Microsoft, but there are a few
bugs. In the Add Function Graph dialog box the Enter key starts a new line
in the function definition, rather than operate the OK button. Someone forgot

to change the newline key in the dialog box.
