Re: New to the list

Agree, Aron. Control W and Control V next to each other are a terrible
nuisance. Which is one reason why I have stickers on my keys even
though I have been using Dvorak for over ten years. The stickers also
makes it easy if you have to type something in QWERTY.

Roll on the day when manufacturers produce keyboards with dual
lettering. However, good you are, you still make mistakes. And it is
really annoying to be suddenly shunted out of your window. You can
lose things that way!
