Auto contrast stacks with SHIFT key - want it back

Dear all,

This is mainly a question for developers of imageJ:

Prior to version 1.52d, there was a possibility to auto contrast the slices of a stack by holding down the SHIFT key while stepping forward/backward in a stack.

In newer versions, it is not possible anymore. You have to switch on the "Auto contrast stacks" checkbox in the appearance options.
I used the SHIFT key method a lot but not always, and always changing a checkbox in the options dialog is much more cumbersome.

In the imageJ changelog (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/notes.html) there is a note for version 1.52d:
"Thanks to Mark Histed, when the shift key is down, the display range is no longer changed when stepping forward/back in a stack."

So this change in behavior was intentional, not a bug. Why did you decide to change this? Is it possible to bring the SHIFT key (or other hotkey) method back?

Another technical thing:
Is this mailing list also for contact with developers, so for e.g. bug reports?
Is it completely separated from the contact methods available on http://imagej.net, such as bug reports page (http://imagej.net/Bug_reporting_best_practices) or image.sc forum (https://forum.image.sc/)

Thank you!

Regards,
Peter
