Great work on the software as I consistently see improvement.

I would like the ability to type a Point Number when using the Cogo or Staking routines. Hopefully
this will be added in future builds.

Current J-Field 1.10.3.10610

Thank you for your efforts!

Done. It's a well kept secret I'm only going to tell you. Many places requiring a point recall (which gives options for from map, list, etc) also allow for a long press that pops up the keyboard. If you know the point name, you can type it in and J-field will recall the point directly.

We need to add some button art to show which buttons allow for this.

Now that I have been enlightened, I would like an option for the "long press" for selecting points
in the Shift and Move routines.

The Shift routing provides an option for delta N, E, H. It would be nice to have the option to pick point numbers
and have the deltas calculated for me.

The Move routine would benefit having the "long press" option under the "Calculate" routines.

Thanks for listening.

Hi Brett,

I have added these items to the list of features to be added to J-Fields. Currently there are about 70 other items on this list so don't expect to see these changes immediately. Thanks for your suggestions.

It could be simpler but there is a way currently to do what you are describing. Use the move command instead of shift if you want to shift points from point A to point B. When prompted for the direction press calculate. Then recall the two points you wish to use. Do the same for distance. The points used for direction will still be populated for distance. Unfortunately the height difference doesn't allow for this. So if a vertical shift is necessary you will need to calculate it in inverse and copy it to a cell using a long press on the value you want.

If that doesn't make sense I'll try to put a few screen captures together for you.
