Shift-pageup/shift-pagedown are so incredibly embedded into a typical X/rxvt/xterm users' head at this point that it's pretty much a motor function. I think that you will find most people using X for the majority of their work are not sticking to the home keys and proper keyboard position as a strict order - but only when they need to. It also helps to develop that 'edge of thumb on top-left of shift + ring finger on page up/down' action. :) That being said, you *can* change them, but I believe it requires hacking at your .Xresources file or equivalent. -cl -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
