I agree that some magic keystrokes could be useful with rio. Consider Engelbart's demo--he used a mouse in the right hand and a chording keyboard in the left. We do some chords on the mouse, but there are only three buttons; I think there are definitely useful things that could be done by combining mouse actions with left-handed keystrokes. If only something simple like "Ctrl + rightclick deletes a window". John
