Another good idea that Edit and other apps should borrow from Stuart is to use alt-up and alt-down to scroll. (alt-left and alt-right to cycle thru windows) these are the main reasons I have to stop typing and reach for the mouse, a real slow down in a word processing type of app. Please NeXT, I know your GUI gods have declared some nonsensical use for alt arrow keys that even Edit's writers had the good sense to ignore, but please give us a way to scroll quickly without using the mouse. And NO, holding down the arrow key as the cursor covers the whole page is not quick. -- --------------------------------------------------- Alex Blakemore alex@cs.umd.edu NeXT mail accepted
