- Why uppercase? We will end up with buttons called YeS and EXit, an
- underscore is enough.

- I don't follow.

-
- I thought you were going to follow the current propsal Shift+CTRL+Z
-
- > - Delete : Delete character in front of cursor.

-
- This is not in keeping with the current proposal:
-
- BS Delete character to left
- Del Delete character to right
- CTRL BS Delete word to left
- CTRL Del Delete word to right
- Shift+CTRL Del Delete to end of line
- Shift+CTRL BS Delete from start of line
- Shift+BS Same as BS
-
- > - CTRL-C : Copy text to clipboard, don't clear out field.
- > - CTRL-V : Paste last copied or cut item back.
- > - CTRL-X : Cut text to clipboard, and clear out the field.
-
- What about Shift+CTRL+C for Append to clipboard?
-
- > - CTRL-UNDO : Clear/empty out clipboard information.
-
- This is not necessary and will confuse users as CTRL+Undo is meant to
- redo.
-
- > Instead of having the clipboard at a set place (like U:\CLIP or whatever)
-
- This is not needed, that's what scrp_read() and _write() are for. Please
- make sure LTMF follows the guidelines as laid out in the Compendium.
-
- > New Level Compliant Proposal:
-
- Not needed IMO. The current proposal is not meant only for WP or text
- handling. My Voice Mail prog and GEMBench can easily cope with the current
- proposal and neither are WPs.
-

-
- I don't think we should vote on this just yet as many items here depend on
- the other proposal and how it end up after voting.
- Other than the above comments I'm quite happy with your ideas.
