- True. The new ICFS program (Iconify server) uses such a method. Shift
- CLOSER iconifies the window. But as it happens I often close the window
- instead of iconifying it. To be honest, I don't like any action that
- involves mouse and keyboard simultaneously. I use the mouse to tell the
- computer things like 'THAT thing', 'THIS option', 'put it THERE' and the
- keyboard for all other actions. But others may have a different opinion.

- P.S. one thing I do like about the iconify server is that you can
- configure the position the icons go to and the size of the icons.
- Normally (like under windows) icons are placed from the bottom left,
- going right and then on line up and right. With the ICFS one can change
- this to all sorts of things.
