What workfow do you want to improve?

Hotkey to switch device works great when there are just two selected devices. But, when there are there or more, hotkey switches devices in circle which is not quite pleasant, especially if there is longer list of devices or some of the device is set to be loud.

How to make it better?

It would be good to have option to set hotkey not to switch devices but just to pop up list of devices letting user to switch to wanted device directly - using keyboard. There are two possible ways to use keyboard:

Use Cursor Up and Cursor Down to select device in list and then Enter to switch.
Use hotkeys, like 1, 2, 3... to switch wanted device in ordered list.
In my opinion the best would be to have both options.

This would allow quick and easy switching devices using keyboard only.

Similar functionality already exists when using mouse. User clicks on app icon in SysTray, list of devices pops up, user clicks to wanted device and that is it. When using keyboard, it is not possible to do that.

Any alternative?
