[If you have seen this in comp.windows.x please ignore it.  I really
should have posted this here in the first place.]

Interfaces with half-a-dozen shift keys for the mouse buttons are
getting quite common now.  I'm curious what people think of them.
If you would take a few minutes to fill out the following survey,
I would appreciate it.

1. Do you like interfaces where shift, control, meta, etc... modify mouse
   presses.
   Yes: _   No: _
   Why:

   Alternatives:

2. Do you like context sensitive key presses(i.e Right key does menu
in root, scroll down in scroll bar, and select when inside a text
window).
   Yes: _   No: _
   Why:

   Alternatives:

3. Should options like close window, move window, etc. apply to the
currently active window or should the user pick the action and then
point to the window.
   Active window: _   Point at window: _  Other: ______________________
   Why:

4. Should icons stay with the window they replace, or should they move
to a standard area of the screen.
   Stay: _   Move: _
   Why:

5. List the things you most like about window systems you have used.




6. List the things you most dislike about window systems you have
used.




Please return the your comments to me and I will summarize to the net.
