Keyboard accelerator for Custom Report window
Custom Report will now become so popular that it's essential that we have a keyboard accelerator so we can jump straight to it without having to open the Reports pane first, then drill down.

After giving it some more thought, I've come up with a better idea than Reports > All. When the accelerator opens Reports, the focus should begin at the top Thought on the Reports list. This not only provides a constant anchorage for this pane, but also enables the user to return to his previous settings.

After giving it some more thought, I think we *also* need a KBA for Reports > All to complete the picture and provide an anchor point. From there on, keyboard or automated navigation to other parts of the Reports pane would be straightforward, without needlessly opening, then closing, the Custom Report window first, just to achieve this.
The alternative would be to make the same kbd accelerator that we already have, that shifts the focus to Reports, shift it to Reports > All each time it is used. I did submit this earlier, then withdrew it as it might discriminate against users who wish to return to the same focus point in Reports that they left, without starting all over again at All. We need one or the other, but certainly in addition, an accelerator for the Custom Report window as it is buried so far down the Reports menu.
Thanks for giving this your consideration. I haven't got enough votes left to make this a separate UserVoice request.
