    Two letters - no enter...

    I like it. No - I love it.

    I assume it would mean the end of one letter only shortcuts? I think it's a worthy trade off.

    Since this came up in this thread, I've been watching myself work. Painful as it is, I went back and did a bit in acrap, with the 2 letters + enter, to compare.

    Two letters, even with the added "enter" is infinitely faster. Two letters wth no "enter" - it just gets better. As you guys have pointed out...

    - keeping the mouse in place keeps concentration in place. For those of use who are "aim challenged", that can be an even bigger deal

    - more intuitive. I always have trouble keeping combinations of alt, shift and ctrl straight in my mind, even with repeated use. Even with the huge, and sometimes obscure, acrap list of shortcuts, I almost never have trouble remembering, because they relate to the task. The only one I can always remember in Chief is Ctrl-Alt-V, because I use it so much. But, I'm imagining PH for Paste Hold - one hand - fast and easy... Oh I'm moved to purchase chocolate at the mere thought.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)
