The former action obviously works well while the latter I personally abjure when writing and object to when using.My question, David, would be, "Is you abjuration theoretical or based on experience where the technique was actually manifested in operational software?" Since you included "and object to using", you must have found some real world software that does this. Are these Mac or Windows apps? And what genre?
I don't recall ever seeing a real-world manifestation of the technique. I never explored it, because I couldn't find a way to do it in HyperTalk; but it occurred to me that OenoLog's button-driven interface might benefit operationally if the mouse cursor could be positioned over the next default button via script.
I doubt I'll change the OenoLog UI to play with the technique even though I could in Run Rev. If you've seen it in operation and found the technique lacking or distracting, that's the first concrete point against it in my score book...however I would want to know the context in which you found it a poor approach before ruling it out altogether, once & for all.
