Agreed on keeping Speedy. I use the arrows rather than letter keys because I have the repeat time set very fast, and the hands stay where the other frequently used items are: slash, equals, quote, semicolon, shift arrows, p, o, l, etc. With the insert key now working, I don't even have to move left for the shift-upper-number insert, so I never have to look at the keyboard or screen anymore -- just keep my hands on numeric (right) and the "new" left home row starting on L. I just concentrate on the paper score in front of me, or on composing if that's what I'm doing. Whoever did the design of Speedy's keystrokes originally many years ago created a perfect layout for this touch-typist. It's one more way of working with Speedy -- and I guess it's time for another note to MM not to abandon this.
