But, in this case, Tommy, she's already using the mouse to drag to select before she hits Ctrl+D. So, if she uses the fill handle to drag, she won't need the extra step of hitting Ctrl+D and she won't be using the mouse anymore than she does with her method....so this one is actually more efficient WITHOUT the keyboard shortcut added.
