- In a word YES. If anyone on this list has not realised that you don't
- approve of CTRL+A then I'd be amazed. :)
-
- I know what you mean about CTRL+A in the text editor sense but what about
- other programs, ie. 2in1, which uses CTRL+A to select all. There's not
- much danger in such a program as you're hardly likely to be touch typing
- in it. I think we should keep CTRL+A in the standard set as it is just
- about standard on every program (except Timothy's! :) )
-
- If the .SYS idea is to be implemented then there are no problems at all
- with CTRL+A as it could be changed using one line in this file!
-
- Anyway, just my opinion. Could we maybe get a vote as to whether we keep
- CTRL+A in the standard so as to stop all the "For" & "Against" CTRL+A
- mails????
-
- Please!!
