Useful shortcut when you know it! in many apps (e.g. Edit, Impression) Ctrl-End deletes the WHOLE line where the cursor is sitting. i use this a lot and often wish that MPro's editor followed suit. but deleting from cursor to the END of the line (as Harriet does in Netsurf addressbar) is useful too. it would also often be useful to have a quick way to delete from the cursor to the START of the line. what does the styleguide say on this? presumably Edit is obedient? -- no need to reply my entire message back to me ;=] Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk Abbey Press 32 Norbins Rd(01458) 83 3603 Glastonbury BA6 9JG pocket 0797 415 3861

There seems to be confusion here between the behaviour of single line text icons (i.e. the URL bar) and full editor applications (Edit and Impression). The two have never behaved the same way, although with Select 3 bringing selections and cutpaste to iocns there are now some similaries with the behaviour encouraged for editor applications given in the style guide. Wimp icons still don't support more advanced behaviours such as keyboard short cuts to clear to the end of lines, and any application offering such facilities are employing additional code.

Can't save as text
Am I imagining things? Before I raise a bug report, please open the following page and try to export it as text. Nothing happens. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/02/hands_free_danger/ I can save the page as draw or as html, and having saved it as html I can then open the saved file and export it as text. So why won't it save in the first place? -- _ |_|. _ Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ |\_||_mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: I disclaim everything.

I can save the page as draw or as html, and having saved it as html I can then open the saved file and export it as text. So why won't it save in the first place? No idea.
