For the record: Pidgin used to have a Send button you couldn't disable. It turned out that lots of people thought you had to click it to send a message, rather than being able to just hit Enter, which is why it was removed (and later resurrected as a plug-in, primarily for those using tablet PCs IIRC). I don't know whether there was any non-anecdotal evidence about this, but it matches my (anecdotal) experience of watching computer-shy people use Firefox: they often painstakingly aim for and click the little green > icon in the address bar, rather than just hitting enter. I've even seen people who know they can hit enter elsewhere in the browser do this. But I imagine that Mozilla have done more extensive usability testing about this and decided that people get confused if the icon isn't there. Regards, -- Will
