Hi Mary, I dove in to the mac world with a laptop & never bought a full keyboard. There are times I have found the need to come to the left side of my keyboard with my right hand, however, It is tolerable. I would think you could set a hot key to do what your wanting to do minus your full keyboard. On Jun 18, 2013, at 6:45 PM, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote:
