When create symbols, the text field dialog are requires too many mouse movement for change field values. It may be much better if all the Text box/ label have access keys (accelerator keys Alt+Keys). This would also reduce a lot of mouse movement for other common dialog like properties in schematic, and layout editor.

Fields are direct-edited in a grid in 5.1, which should largely alleviate this issue.
