Morning Steve Lamb,
> Mouse & text editing. You have tentacles, do you?
Actually, no. However I have two hands, each with 5 fingers. 5+5=10. An
octopus has only 8 tentacles, a squid has 10 more or less independently
movable ones. But these might stick to the keyboard, so I'm happy with my
10(!) fingers that *can* move quite nimbly on their respective hands. If I
take one hand off the keyboard for playing around with the mouse, I still can
type with 5 fingers, which works fairly well. But mostly I even won't want to
type while doing that, only press a shift button or such. So your procedure
for marking a forgotten line at the top of a nine page selection (in TB
editor, others might be worse of course) would be:
- take hand off kb, grab for mouse (ca .5 sec, not much more than moving it
to PgUp on the keyboard)
- use scrollbar to move up 9 pages (usually faster than 9x PgUp, gets quicker
the more pages you have)
- Hold Shift, click on desired position.
Yessir, mouse editing can be efficient too.
> Erm, no.
Only a matter of preference and usage style. Persistent Blocks can be
efficient as well. Just not so much for frequent Block overwriting.
