I certainly know the feeling of using the same software on a different
platform and suddenly keystrokes are different. You feel like
something from twilight zone, where the world changed while you were
asleep - you need to check your spouse to see if the pod people have
invaded. However: I'm an extremely proficient touch typist, and there
is nothing which irritates me, and slows me down, more than having to
go to a mouse to click up an option when I can type a few keys to do
the same. I think out of all the deficits of Ventura, this is the most
mind-numbing. If I had to shift a set of boxes around, or had to
change a large list of a few elements, to have to click on the
paragraph, click on a box, click on an option, click on the choice,
click on OK, then repeat ad nauseum. Oh! For the miracle they call
EMACS.
