I recently thanked Tobias Rittweiler for his work on slime inspector
and suggested some usability improvements for it in his blog:

As it was requested, I re-post this comment here.

> It would be very nice if you add some simple key binding which lets user immediately edit the slot
> corresponding to the line the cursor is in. As a user, and I think I am very much like many others,
> most of the time I edit just one slot. Only then I look at the next, decide whether I should edit it,
> and what value to bind it to. It is very uncomfortable to mark it first, then move to the bottom
> of the list, push "Set value" and only then enter a new value, or values, which I must stack
> in my memory first. There should be easier way, like one-key combination.

> Also your solution needs some key to unmark all marked slots.

> Thanks for your great work!
