"all > the useful stuff is at your fingertips" is just how it feels with to me > with the acme-style mouse chording... what concerns me about the chord interface is that the stress issue is overlooked. i avoid chord-related RSI by carefully avoiding too much chording on wily. that slows me down, but avoids a much worse situation. [i gave up emacs years ago because of left-hand control-stress.] i also wanted to say earlier that sam is fine the way it is. its popup menu is nearly as fast as chords, and does not appear to induce stress. oz -- www.cs.yorku.ca/~oz | the factual burden of a science varies inversely york u. computer science | with its degree of maturity. -- peter medawar
