[FREQ]Arrow keys in editors ,and mass spell import.

[Lizard]

Can you please add the ability to use arrow and tab keys in the list editors, esp. the spell lists? clicking in each square to type in the spells know is EXTREMELY tedious.

Also -- would it be possible to have a tool to bulk-copy spells? Since a spell needs a separate entry for each class that can cast it, manually copying a few dozen spells and hand-changing the UID is an exercise in slow frustration. Since the names are pattern based, it should be easy to specify 'change the class name part of the UID to this string' -- for example, I'm trying to enter duskblades, for which I use DSK. Changing 'WIZ' to 'DSK' but leaving all else the same in a group of selected spells would be a big help; doing it one at a time is very slow.

I'll try to get that added next time we're doing stuff to the editor.

That's an interesting idea. I'll add it to the list and see what we can do.
