Hi Octavian et al, I'd also like to second Marlon's suggestion myself. Personally I use menu based mnemonics like alt+t for tools, o for options quite a lot actually. I only bother to recall by heart the most often used command hotkeys. Such as find next, save as, go to line and word wrap for text editing. But again what features you use depends on the style of usage and preferences, too. There's no one size fits all option. -- With kind regards Veli-Pekka Tätilä (vtatila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Accessibility, game music, synthesizers and programming: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila Octavian Rasnita wrote: > Yes I also agree with Marlon. > Octavian > From: "Marlon Brandão de Sousa" <splyt.lists@xxxxxxxxx> > > Na ... > > Man go to the way we've already pointed.
