Not so much lazy as ignorant. I have to say I have never heard of this. I've never used an editor where this is the standard (neither vi nor emacs work this way). I see OpenOffice does, but I can't say I think of word-processing commands when using an email composer. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. BTW the Evo documentation says nothing about it that I can see, neither in the online help nor in the quick reference sheet. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
