It requires me to move my hand from the keyboard slowing me down. It is much easier to slide my fingers over to hit the <ctrl Fx> key stroke than it is to go find the @#$%^%^&& mouse and do it. Especially when I change desktops very frequently. Except for cut and paste operations I think a mouse is STUPID but I am sure a LOT of people will disagree. I guess that is why there are choices. :-) Enjoy!! -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@rogueind.com hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting .... -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
