Look this may have got out-of-hand (it was meant to be an illustration of a

the same argument about stretching applies (at least on the kbds I have).
More so to "y" than "v", in fact.
Yes, I know I can re-map anything I like.

The suggestion at the bottom of my last mail stands:
why not have a common place for LAD prefs and an agreement that
"LAD-compliant" apps use them.
That way no-one has to be 'right' or 'wrong' about key sequences (or whether
one-button mice are usable) etc. but, at the same time, the benefit of
similarity between app's common functions is maintained.
