[space] is actually the Windows-standard shortcut key for "click the currently active control" and I use it a lot together with the arrow keys and/or tab to navigate around dialog boxes. Not everyone in the World is addicted to using a mouse and quite a few of us prefer to view the mouse as an additional input. Any software that takes away a shortcut that I have learnt over the last decade or more is probably going to be uninstalled in short order. Obviously it's your design and your choice but I think you ought to reconsider whether changing a fundamental aspect of Windows' UI behaviour is a good idea :) -- Andrue Cope [TeamB] [Bicester, Uk] http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html
