You can decide for yourself if it's a feature or not, but I've used applications that use TAB to 'move to next input' and ^I to insert a tab. It's a little hard to remember sometimes that TAB leaves the textbox, but not nearly so annoying as the alternative: *failing* to leave the textbox and accidentally altering its text. Tabs are somewhat useful in textboxes whose contents are somewhat structured. --jkl _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
