I don't understand the problem. I work with index markers all the time, and never touch the mouse. It's all done with the keyboard. I position the insertion point where I want the marker, then press <ESC>sm to open the marker window. This is a platform-independent shortcut, three separate key strokes. The Windows ALT+s, m works, too. Then I type the marker text. Then I press the <TAB> key. Then I press the space bar. This inserts the marker and brings focus back to the document window. The marker window stays open, which is usually OK. If I need to close the marker window I either press <ESC>Cm (again, three separate key strokes) or I press <ESC> when focus is in the marker window. If this doesn't do it, can you tell me what you are trying to do? I might not understand the problem. Ian
