Method browsers should have initial list selection

Louis Sumberg-2
When bringing up a method browser, definitions of or references to
(e.g., pressing F12 or Shift-F12), I often wish that the first item in
the list was selected, especially when there's only one item in the
list.  I guess I'm noticing it more with D6 because when using the Code
Mentor, it often presents a list of methods and when I click on an item
a browser pops up with one method and then I have to click on it for the
source code to show.  Offhand I can't think of a downside to having the
first method in a list of methods selected automatically.  Comments?  (I
haven't put this in as a request.)

The same observation occurred to me.  Unless there is some downside (nothing
jumps at me), I would like to see it work as you suggest.  FYI: You can
select and view the first item in the list by hitting the down arrow after
the window opens.  Still I think an initial selection would be useful.
