When extracting an archive, in the extract dialog most often I need to enter a directory name in the Output tedit. The rest of the options (extract as new folder etc) are ok as they are; I do not need to change them

When this dialog is shown, it would therefore be handy to let peazip immediately start extracting (i.e. perform the onclick action for OK) if enter is pressed after editing the output directory.

Alternatively, it would be nice to have accelerator keys (&OK) for the OK button so it is easier to quickly perform the action manually.

    Hi, OK button accelerator is Ctrl+Alt+Enter, both in archive creation and in archive extraction dialog - if it is not needed to click in other control, OK button is pre-selected so pressing enter is enough to start archiving or extraction, but in your case of course accelerator keys are needed.
    The shortcut is visible in main menu, Layout group.
    Probably in next version I'll feature this information as hint for OK button, so it is easier to discover for end users.

    Keyboard shortcut added as hint to OK button, both for archive creation and extraction.

    Thanks; hint works. Suppose the issue can be closed ;)
