Yeah, I was worried about that, and I think you're right. However, I have a better idea. When you select a word, all buttons are disabled except the "Convert" button. How about instead of just disabling the buttons, you automatically select the "Convert" button? This would have the same effect as the most common use for sticky buttons -- that is, to emulate the style-bar in most other word processors -- without the overhead. > The text field already supports auto-completion.

Sorry, I didn't see that. > Keyboard die-hards should not use the Edit tab which has been designed > specifically for mouse-oriented users. I edit documents in two ways, though. I usually use the keyboard when inserting new elements. In this mode, I want to be able to choose the element being inserted with the keyboard -- and the "space" auto-complete is great for this. I just didn't catch it in the tutorial. However, I also often write entire paragraphs and then go back and convert certain words to different tags, such as emphasis, keyword, etc. In that mode, I'm using the mouse, not the keyboard. I think I should have broken my request into two emails, to reduce confusion. I want both the keyboard and the mouse experience to be as good as possible. - --- SER -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9fI0aP0KxygnleI8RAi5EAKCdutwjMOLSP1tPjqWgLJ4w6P5r7gCgw/hi 7r7Sv/XB74WQY9znl8XidaA= =lbhO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
