Dear Jonathan, As a solution to the Taking Notes At High Speed problem, how about a Do Not Exit mode. You would endter the Do Not Exit mode using a chord which is currently not being used for anything else in Keysoft. In the Do Not Exit mode you can key into a Keyword document with all chords available, except the chord e. To really exit the document when you really want, you would press chord e chor e. That is something you would not normally type at any speed. To make doubly sure you really mean to exit using chord e chord e, Keysoft would ask, "Are You Sure?". This Do Not Exit mode would also be extremely helpful in Keymail, where quickly marking many e-mails for the E-mail Action Menu sometimes kicks you out of the e-mail folder.
