I agree with Carlos. I like to have the choice of doing things with the mouse or the keyboard. If my hand is on the keyboard, it's usually faster to use it than to move to the mouse and back. Usually both my hands are on the keyboard, and I prefer to use it for most things. Besides, I can navigate a lot faster with a keyboard than is possible with a mouse. The mouse is more intuitive, especially for things I don't do often enough to remember the keyboard shortcuts, and is also useful if I'm already using the mouse as it saves me from having to move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard and back. > I've never really used Outlook but I am guessing that it too > is very mouse centric. I very rarely use the mouse with Outlook. I can navigate it very well with just the keyboard. In fact I don't use the mouse much with Windows. > One should be able to traverse the content of an > email more intuitively with keys like Ctrl-downarrow and Ctrl-uparrow > instead of using Backspace and Space Don't PageUp and PageDown work for you? They do for me. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
