I never have this problem; I have to "reach over" with my thumb anyway to hit ALT; the flag key is simply in the wrong place to get in the way for me. I'd have to use my ring finger to hit it (usually I just move my hand off the home keys: the things bound to that key are unusual enough that this isn't an issue). On that subject, though, I do hit the INSERT key when I'm aiming for DELETE a lot; I've seriously considered removing the overwrite toggle I currently have bound to it... I don't use overwrite mode much really. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
