Begging for 2 simple additional tools in NWC

Hi everybody,
I like NWC, which is actually a wonderful tool for editing, and which I use regularly.
But I think there are missing 2 simple tools that would make editing much more friendly:
- A repeat button (preferably through the keyboard such as "F4" in Microsoft Office), that would allow to repeat quickly the same action on several notes, while selecting notes through the mouse with the right hand, and repeating the action through the keyboard with the left hand.
- Possibility to modify several notes through a single action even if they are different. For example, selecting a quarter and a eighth note in order to make them both sixteenth notes.
Quite simple, isn't it ? My NWC life would be more shinny...
But it is already shinny...
Regards

You can sort of manage the first one using macros. Apparently, it's still possible to get hold of the old Macro Recorder, although I found this pretty unuseable. There are commercial macro managers, such as Iolo Macro Magic, although I have to admit I haven't used it that much, as it slows down the PC too much. Built-in support for macros, would therefore be much appreciated.
As for the second point, I agree with you. It would also be useful to be able to select notes over several bars, and apply the change to all notes, ignoring anything that wasn't a note (beaming is a procedure that would be speeded up this way).

I was thinking the other day that I must add a request for being able to select several bars at once to preform one action, like adding flow direction or beaming or transposition to multiple bars.
