it's time to come clean an admit that i have never taken advantage of the option that lets you press [???], then press other keys in order so the result is like pressing multiple keys at once.
i have never made a big deal over having but one useful hand simply because in my line as a hacker, one hand was enough. programming at 95mph was never the goal. everybody on this list has learned that forethought and planning beat typing speed! ---still, when my shoulder began to dislocate in 1999, typing thr number-shift keys [like '*', '&', '^', and the rest became harder [*]. i'm ready to set up the multi-key stuff that's built in to at least KDE. appreciate a pointer to a url or tutorial on this... and/or to know what this feature is even called. it's time to get practical. i am stubborn, just not particular stupid. maybe "slow" :_) gary [*] and more painful, and awkward--so slower. -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
