OK- I had downloaded that suggested guide and his quick ref. My question is answered in the detailed PDF almost parentheticly with one sentence on page 14. The Quick guide erroneously says the keyboard short cut- search again short cut- is X. It is -command key X. Why do I think its a big deal? The delete or backspace key is the default universal way to implement text replacement information It is intuitive-simple. Even (q)uit is more intuitive and my gripe is that the way this app works on this simple manuveur in non obvious way & gives me a bad initial impression of what is probably an OK app. And while I may be the first person to bring this up-guaranteed I'm not the first person to experience this and if that makes me a troll- so be it. It just seems to me this is NOT the kind of thing you should have to ask for help on a forum. And-as an afterthought-in reading that guide- BECAUSE he gets into explaining search hierarchies before he answers my question-I assumed he did not deal with the issue that was perplexing me.
