Using Instrument Manager with NT7, it seems some usability aspects have been dealt with (notably searching and hitting enter will run a search instead of by default hitting the OK button - thank you!). However, there are several areas where things can still be improved:
* Allow for multiple selection of Instruments so we can en masse click the "left" arrow button to add many instruments at once to an instruments list. This is currently the most annoying thing about Instrument Manager for me currently.
* Now that auto-merging is a reality, would be nice if there was an option for our Instruments list to auto-maintain their set of instruments to the latest contract. That way we wouldn't have to go in here and add latest in every time a contract rolls over. Of course, this could be solved if you had a concept of a continuous contract like @TF or @ES (I know you are reticent against this for liability reasons - but TradeStation does do this)
* Allow for an Instrument list to be copied into a new Instrument list. Useful for when you want to tweak an existing list.
* Allow for an Instrument list *name* to be edited. Once you create it, no way to alter name thereafter.
