Thanks, gerv, I've already heard the arguments and they have some
validity. But why not use another less-commonly-used key for the same
function? Say, for instance, the keypad-minus key? It's almost never
used for anything else and sits at the corner of the keyboard for quick
access. The downside is that notebook users are SOL.
Anyway, would you happen to be able to answer my other question about
how to alter the appropriate file (chrome files or whatever) to remap
that function to another key? I can't find current documentation on this
anywhere since the changed the format recently.
