[Gradebook] Assign a Missing Status to assignments by typing in "M" as the grade

[RyanFrandsen]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

---

When grading I can type in "EX" and Canvas automatically gives it a "Excused" status. Why can't I do this for assignments deserving a "Missing" status by simply typing in the letter M? 

Right now, in order to assign work as "Missing" I have to click on each individual student with missing work, click the grade tray and select the appropriate radio button... for over 100 kids per assignment. 

If I could simply type in M for missing, it would make grading more effective and accurate and speed up the process drastically.

It is completely ridiculous that this is still an issue.  Canvas, what is wrong with you?  This is an easy fix.

YEs!! Please add "M" for missing and "L" for late like "Ex" = excused!

Please add a shortcut for a missing assignment as soon as possible.
