>I understand the ergonomic value. Mentally it doesn't make as much sense though. Actually, to me, once I hit on the reason, it made *perfect* sense. A quick bang-bang way to quit a file, and even the placement of the keys next to each other, and *order* of hitting the keys (a natural "rolling" action from <shift> to <z>, as if rolling/tapping your fingers in impatience (from pinky to index-finger, not the other way around)), makes it a "natural" action. That "rolling" action is the same reason why "qw" just feels natural and is easy to do, but "wq" just feels "backwards". I was quite pleased at figuring out the reasoning. :D >BTW, Murrrca---is that like this: http://www.langmaker.com/db/Amurica ? Dunno if specifically attributed to GWB, but in general, that's how locals slur words. Eg, "Baltimore, Maryland" is pretty much pronounced by the locals as "Ballmer, Merrlin", and around here, "Long Island" similar to "Lawn Guyland". I won't even touch the Brits and the way "Worcestershire" is mangled into "Woostsher" or whatever.
