Hi, Don, I agree that it could be confusing to have the thumb keys different in terminal mode.
In the case of WindowEyes, the thumb keys are assigned as thumb1 is the left key; thumb2 is the key next to it; thumb3 is the next key and thumb4 is the key on the right. If you wanted to, you could change the hot keys for all of the thumb keys so the WindowEyes hot keys match the BN hot keys. Because I have changed my BN thumb keys, the WindowEyes thumb keys match.
