Enhancement to Add download dialog

I switched to Free Download Manager because my old download manager stopped working in one of the newer versions of FireFox. The most common thing that I need to do when downloading files using a download manager is to change the name of the file from what the name is to what I want it to be. I find the "Save as" field to be somewhat difficult to access i.e. by default the "Ok" button is selected when the "Add Download" form opens and you have to either hit tab 13 times to get there or shift-tab 7 times to get into that field. Alternately if you use the mouse to click on the field the cursor ends up someplace in the body of the filename and you have to then hit Home and then shift-end to highlight the complete text to delete it so as to start entering the new name.

What I would suggest, first enable Alt shortcuts to edit fields i.e. possibly Alt-F for the "Save to folder" field; Alt-S or Alt-A for the "Save as" field so when the dialog pops up the user can press Alt-A to jump to the field. Second possibility move the "Save As" field under the URL field so that the user only has press Tab 2 or 3 times to enter that field.
