Adrian Lawrence mentions alternatives to naked TDS shift-ctrl-alt-
character sequences like keyboard templates or new character mapping.
A third alternative is utilizing the mouse support common to
most recent PC hosts. A background mouse driver may be easily installed
and freely preconfigured by the user.
As for my case for instance, fullscreen cursor
positioning is done in a second, the appropriate fold is opened
by one mouse key and closed by a second. The third key opens a
pop-up menu offering a dozen common TDS editor directives.
*AND* my eyes are allowed to rest from very much of that nasty
keyboard-screen-keyboard-screen flickering!
