Hi Eike,

I fail to see why you would like to use the old dialog again. The new
one is much prettier and offers more capabilities.

No doubt that the new one is much prettier and offers more functions :-)
However, I expect an significant part of the use is a simple filter action.

Imagine a range where I want to see al the "Cor" entries.
With the old autofilter, is is sufficient to
(start it with Alt-D, F, Enter)
Launch it with ALt-Down
Type "C" (if needed "Co"), Enter and you're done.

With the new dialog, you need more and complicated key strokes .. even the mouse works faster :-) / :-\
Of course for this simple action, but that is a use case too, ain’t it?

Apart from that, two
different dialogs of course also would need differentiation in what is
stored, during runtime and in file, which I doubt makes sense as it is
an implementation specific behavior.

Ah, that is the technical part, and why I asked it would be possible.
If it is really a hassle, then further improving the new one is the only way to go, of course. That is why I started trying to add some accelerators in the fist place. Well, see explanation and remarks in my first and second post in this thread.

Cheers,
