That’s probably true. I gave the new actions high initial rankings so they would be the defaults for EQ presets. They should never show up for anything else, so it’s safe to have them up there. > Same with Go & Fill (from One Password).

If you just installed it for the first time, some of them will be pretty high. But again, they’ll never apply to anything but remote hosts, so it won’t interfere. > I find it a little odd that my Show Contact is 35 but my Edit Contact is 217 > with Add Note to Contact at 218.

The abbreviations you type to get to them are stored and ranked, but the actions themselves are only re-ordered manually. Well, maybe. I guess we wouldn’t be having this conversation if that were 100% true. > Is Note Contact new? It's at 40. It seems to be the reverse of Add Note... > and I think it's badly named.

That plug-in hasn’t been touched for a long time. You’re right about the name. > What does strike me as wrong is if I right-arrow into a contact and choose an > email address the default action is Find With... and not Compose Email.

Yes, but it was in June of last year and was included in B61. > Were they previously recognized as email addresses over being plain text? Before B61, e-mail addresses weren’t recognized as text, so you couldn’t use Paste, Large Type, etc. E-mail addresses now have 3 types: e-mail, URL, and text. The highest action that applies to any one of those types will be the default. In your case that seems to be “Find With...”. “Compose Email” should be moved up higher as it only applies to e-mail addresses and won’t interfere with things that are text (and only text). Someone should write (or update) a manual explaining how all this works. :-) -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
