-
- I realise that, but we have modified the original proposal quite a lot to
- match the German standard. I think Shift+CTRL+S is very logical and
- follows the them of the new standard to use Shift+CTRL as extensions for
- CTRL commands. People will take 10 minutes to get used to the new standard
- which on the whole they will find easier to remember.

- This is possible and makes sense. How do others feel about this?

- There is, although I put it in the wrong place.
-
- CTRL D - Abandon Window (iconify or place in menu)
-
- as suggested by Wilfried Behne.
