I used to use keyboard shortcuts a lot but now no-one seems to stick to a general standard* and the mouse is now quicker - its another one of these improvements that actually slows things down in the long run.Kevin Lucas wrote:I too use the keyboard a lot. but when I watch youngsters nowadays it's all mouse work.I use my accounting system in a browser (php) and only use the keyboard TAB to move arrows to select up / down SpaceBar to accecpt or Enter Alt LeftArrow to go back a page and for a new Entry Once the first page has loaded the Mouse is left until all the Accounting is done.One thing that annoys me with KDE4, I can no longer use the enter key when a desktop icon is highlighted to invoke it. In KDE 3 if a desktop icon was highlighted I could press enter instead of fetching the mouse for a double click. I could also use the tab key to move around the icons. In KDE 4 pressing the enter key in this situation has no effect.I still plan to drop by later this year. Hope you will be in, Neil
