Default time zone shortcuts

Page Down is the only shortcut I know of - type down won't work since they
all begin with the same text [(GMT]. It would have been nice to use
abbreviations or the full name of the zone first, but they needed to do it
this way to keep them in order by zone.

I wonder... if you could change the display name in the registry so it would
be on top? The zones are stored at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones
and you'll need to reboot for it to go into effect. you'd probably need to
use '(A-India' to bring it to the top.

Is there any way for me to get more quickly to a time zone in the time
zones
dropdown of my calendar? Using '07, as it stands I am default on Eastern
time zone, but schedule quite a few things with India. To get there
currently I have to page down twice, then arrow several times down, before
I
make it to India (I prefer to use keyboard to mouse for most things). Is
there any way for me to either have "shortcut" time zones, wherein I can
reduce the time it takes to find my most used ones (India, Caucusus, EST,
CST)?

It does work - but (A doesn't put it at the top - however type down works if
you remove the TZ offset from the display name. change (GMT - +xx:xx)
Place_Name to Place_Name and you can type P to jump to it. So for India,
remove the TZ part so it just says India then press I to jump to it. You
could also rename them 1- EST, 2-CST, 3-India etc and type down by number.
