- I think it was 'ALT-CNTRL-...' or 'SHIFT-ALT-...' or something that's
- difficult to type (No I have a PC like keyboard: there I have to use
- 'ALT_GR-('. It's not very good.)
-
- Why (only) the brackets from the num pad? Are there any reasons against the
- normal brackets (num pad or non num pad)-> 'CTRL ('; 'CTRL )'

- I don't want to exclude anyone from a new standard. If you divide into power
- users and non power users the market gets smaller and smaller. I wish, all
- of them would buy new Ataris, but there will be some people that will buy
- an PC, if being forced to buy a new computer. So keep it very simple (the
- biggest advantage of Atari against PC/Windows).

- That could be the best way! Make some global standard shortcuts and allow
- making your own ones.
