Thanks for the heads up. Interesting to see that others have had the same
experience. I can see both sides but I'm more on the "don't make me think"
side of things so I don't want to have to think about which button to press
to get the result I'm after. Though I'm sure there are plenty of other
examples in software where I do it happily. Probably just the contrast with
my previous set up that makes it feel a bit off.

I guess having an option to control the behaviour would 'solve' it but it
is best to avoid them if possible.
