Hey Dmytro, could I ask for some clarifications? We did recently add a new "Add Property" dialog, and I also noticed that pressing Return or Enter does nothing. Is that what you're referring to? And do you expect Enter or Return to add the property and close the dialog? It sounds like you're expecting to be able to maybe trigger the dialog again with Enter or Return?

I like the new menu. It looks better and is more comfortable to use.
One small thing: when you add new rules in Properties, it would be nice to have the option to add 2 or 3 rules at once, for example pin rotation, section, and pin group, without closing the window every time.
Before, this was also convenient, because after pressing Enter again, you could return to the same dialog window.

Dmytro Cherepania: Gotcha. Well first, I've fixed the behavior with Enter / Return. It should arrive in production shortly. Second, we already support Shift + Click to multi-select and bulk add rules in the Add Layout Rules dialog. I'll do the same for the Add Properties Dialog. Thank you for your feedback!

I was wrong about us supporting shift click in the add layout rules dialog. Getting this right will take more time. Just giving you a heads up.

Hey there, just reporting back that I'll need to pause my work on multi-selecting properties in the add properties dialog. I hope the improvement to hotkey is helpful and when I have more time in the future, I'll return to improving bulk adding of properties and rules.
Until then, I'm going to mark this ticket as finished.
Please reach out if you have any other questions or requests.

The most important thing is that, in my opinion, everything works quite stably and clearly now, and the updated menu has become better and more convenient to use.
So at this point, it feels more like a small detail than a real problem.
