You raise a good point that perhaps the cassual WE user hasn't thought 
about.  
In theory, what Sandra wants makes a lot of sense -- and I understand 
where she is coming from.
As a practical heavy WE user who makes extensive use of the keyboard 
commands, however, unless the implementation she desires is thought 
through and designed carefully, it could cause as many headaches as it 
resolves.

I think of discussions here and elsewhere where folks don't like this and 
that -- MLB's decision in 2008 to go to Siilverlite as its media player 
and the complaints that ensued.
Well, they listened to the complaints for the 2009 season and came up wit
something that many have decided is even worse.  Bottom line:  sometimes 
leaving well enough alone is the best solution unless a solution brings so 
many benefits that the change is a no-brainer.
And browse mode may be one of these that, if changed, even for the better 
may cause as many complaints as compliments.  
Remember how changing WE browser commands in WE4.5 took many users a long 
time to absorb.  Yes, those changes were necessary and for the long-time 
betterment of the product, but that, in the short-term, didn't help those 
struggling to break old habbits.
Extensive modification of browse mode, will undoubtedly in the short term 
bring about a heavy work load for tech support as folks will have to 
revise habbits -- and that takes both time and knowledge.
Hence, when those changes are made, they truly have to be for the 
betterment long-term of WE and not just reflexive response to one issue.







O Lord, help me to do all the good I can, by all the means I can, in all the 
ways
I can, in all the places I can, in all the times I can, to all the people I can 
as
long as ever I can.
