Dan,
I don't see how adding a key binding to hide all the
windows can help. If there is already a key binding
for displaying the menu David and myself are not
using.
As to why.. I can only speak by myself. I take you are
probably a more key oriented person, I am a more mouse
oriented person when I am reading website. When a use
ris browsing they tend to do more reading than writing
and if the browser is maximazied or does a lot of
browser windows open occupaing the entire desktop I am
in desperate need of desktop space to find my menu.
I do agree with David on this. And I can think that
this can also be resolved with a taskbar pannel, as I
am suggesting on my other note.
Rasterman: I am glad to hear that is in the TODO
list..
