Digested

Ctrl-Enter was first seen (for me anyways) in Quicken for dos. One would go through the fields of each transaction with enter, then ctrl-enter to commit the transaction. It worked very well, easy, didn't need the mouse. And there was always a bar at the bottom of the page that listed the appropriate key commands in each context. My world at the time was Wordperfect 5.1, Quicken, and Turbo Pascal. Plus a drafting application that I don't remember the name. I ran a small business, did the accounts, proposals, etc. When the gui came, it felt like a step backwards. Who in heaven or on earth came up with the tab key to switch focus? Obviously someone who hadn't done alot of data entry. Thinking about moving my pinky like that gives me carpal tunnel pain. Bah! I'll stop here before I become a bitter old man.
