- >And I'm able to press tabs instead of returns, so that's no problem for me
-
- Some people spend the entire day typing numerical data into computers.
- Before you ask, I'm not one of them! However, I do write the software they
- use.
-
- Those people generally speaking hold a sheet of paper in their left hand and
- keep their right hand on the numerical pad. That part of the keyboard is
- very remote from the tab key, however it features an enter key. They simply
- cannot use the tab key.

-
- *Some* Amiga string gadgets are set up to close the window when you hit
- return in them: the workbench execute window (which acts like a one-line
- CLI; you type in a command and it executes it, then goes away), or the
- ReqTools `file' stringgadget (not the others though, they just advance the
- cursor to the next string gadget).
-
- I'm not basically opposed to closing windows ;-) - I just don't like it when
- *every* string gadget does that.
