I should have said "I don't like to change it', rather than "I don't recommend changing it". Yes, it's absolutely personal preference.

Knowing which two characters my cursor is between makes more sense to me, and every time I have to use Windows, I find it just as frustrating to edit text as you do on the Mac. <smile> > On Sep 9, 2015, at 01:28, Jonathan Mosen <[email protected]> wrote: > > I completely agree with you.
