Was there something incredibly intuitive about either of those shortcuts that made them somehow superior to Ctrl-E? That was the original point, was it not, that Ctrl-E would be more intuitive for some function whose name began with E, so one would think that the command it replaced must have somehow had some intuitive connection with toggling scroll/page view. At least, I'd think that would be the logical implication of the argument as it was made by the original complainant. -- David W.
