I think Phil and I discussed this, and agreed on this. You click an on-screen button. You press a mechanical button. If I'm not mistaken, this distinction is already in our current style guidelines. (Phil and I did have some disagreement over whether to use click when referring to the physical mouse button, like "click the left mouse button".) -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
