Well, maybe "weird" wasn't the best word.. ;) But it's not very intuitive - critical or not. It's so seemingly arbitrary (why Ctrl + J for Park?) in the first place, a more intuitive approach would have been to use Ctrl + Shift + J to UnPark (assuming you had to go with J in the first place) To add confusion.... if the message window isn't open - that is, you are looking at the message list - there are completely different keystrokes used for the same behavior: parking a message uses Shift + Ctrl + P while UnParking a message uses Shift + Ctrl + [ I realize this is likely due to the depth of power and control offered by The Bat - giving the user so much control means using up keyboard shortcuts quickly, and trying to map them all out in a clear, related manner may be next to impossible. And I do see *some* sense in the "Shift + Ctrl + P" and "Shift + Ctrl + [" shortcuts - they are right next to each other on a standard keyboard. Nevertheless, this is exactly the type of thing that keeps The Bat labeled as overly technical, geeky and/or esoteric. Personally, these aren't necessarily bad attributes, but it does limit the appeal to broader audiences. "Shift + Ctrl + P" and "Shift + Ctrl + [" are listed under the Message menu in list view. Technically, the keystroke mapping for UnParking is listed incorrectly. If you are holding down the shift key you are going to have a hell of a time getting a "[" key send from a standard keyboard. :) -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
