------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 15 00:04:28 -0700 2005 ------- Well, I have used these shortcuts a LOT; they are very useful. Firefox, for example, is an app that allows multiple tabs in a window, and multiple windows open at the same time. Ctrl-W will close a tab or a window that has only no tabs, but File-Quit or Alt-F4 will close the entire app, all windows and tabs at once. Granted, Firefox is not an editor, so no files are modified, but the effect is the same. What I like about FF is that it will warn you if you try to close all the tabs on a window at once. OOo doesn't do that, and maybe it should. The big thing to remember is that OOo is ONE application, not 3, 4, or 5, no matter how many different kinds of documents it can open at once. Think about GIMP (opens many kinds of graphic files) or MS-Works (better example). MSW can open any of at least 4 types of files at once and, though I don't remember 'cause I would not use it even if paid to do so, I think it recognizes the same command structure. I repeat, it's a matter of learning the CUA keys and remembering that OOo is one application, not 6 (writer/calc/impress/draw/base/math). The MS Office suite is NOT one application, so you would be right if you were using it and got this kind of behavior. I must admit that I'm not the typical user; I use keyboard shortcuts heavily, because I hate having to move my hands from the keyboard back and forth to my trackball/mouse. When I teach others to use programs on their computers, I teach them about these shortcuts. My experience is that most users watching me use my computer are amazed at how efficient I am. They WANT to know these shortcuts, too. Most have never bothered to learn them. Tell some unfortunate Windows user who has a rogue website opening up popup windows in Internet Explorer that they don't have to chase the red X on them with the mouse, they can just Ctrl-W repeatedly, and they'll thank you profusely! Anyway, if you want to continue the discussion, let's do it elsewhere. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
