- Ofir:
- ------------------
- CTRL Tab Cycle Windows
- Shift CTRL Tab Reverse Cycle Windows
- CTRL ESC Close Top Window
- Shift CTRL Tab Close All Windows
- ------------------
- I think this is more intuitive than the U/W stuff, and frees up those
- positions on the keyboard for other things. Plus, Ctrl-Esc may be easier
- to hit than Ctrl-U or whatever it was.
-
- You have insert/paste/import file, but I didn't see and equivalent for
- export.
-
- Also, what about my idea to assign Redraw Window to Ctrl-A? You know
- that would be absolutely the most harmless combination.
-
-
- ----------------
- 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 ***
- ----------------
- I like it... VERY much! This leaves Shift-Backspace assigned to NOTHING,
- and makes the very destructive operations of delete to end/start nearly
- impossible to hit accidentaly. I would make Shift-BS and Shift-Del do
- exactly what their unshifted versions do... one character.
-
-
- As an aside, I fear that whoever writes an amodal dialog handler for us
- to use will make it too compiler specific and too complex for some to
- want to deal with. I suggest that a standard be devised, and many people
- write handlers that follow the standard... this will also be good because
- healthy competition gets people to improve their software. If person B's
- program is easier to interface with than Person A's, then Person A may
- improve his code to be better than person B's.
