Same here. > So, what shall we do? Start our function keys at F2, so F2 is Select, > F3 insert etc? On my keyboard, that seems OK. The split is across F5/F6. On regular, straight keyboards, aren't they divided into three groups of four? Having [ ] [F2] [F3] [F4] [F5] seems a bit off. What else can we do though? Steve's Esc trick doesn't work here. That would be pretty funky behavior anyway. F1 *has* been the standard for "help" in everything for 20 years now. We can hardly complain about that. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
