If you actually hit ctrl with your little finger then yes, this is a disaster waiting to happen. > * movement between the mouse and the keyboard Avoid at all costs. Use an editor that never needs the mouse (emacs or vim). -- Real (i.e. statistical) tennis and snooker player rankings and ratings: http://www.statsfair.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
