I ran across the following posting recently. Anyone looked into ensuring that vtcl can perform _every_ operation via keyboard bindings? Anyone looked into _documenting_ all the keystrokes needed to do this? Subject: Re: Microsoft programmer needs serious help!

Mice make me dizzy, because I have to move my head around and around and up and down etc. I've even fooled with Visual TCL, only to give it up on the grounds that it's heavily moused. Microsoft used to have a tool where pressing CTRL-mouse put the pointer in the middle of the screen. That was something, anyway. Still, I don't care--I hate mice. The last time I was happy with computers was when everything was "point-and-shoot" with arrow keys. If someone would have the kindness to think about that when developing, a lot of people with bad eyes would be a whole lot happier. What I'm saying is; there should be keyboard equivalents for everything possible. That's all.
