Hi Guys,
Also I was wondering if it is a hassle to have one hotkey that goes into a
dictionary list so the second keystroke can be "A" to "Z" and stuff like that?
I was not sure if Rod just wants one key stroke for all of this. This would
eliminate any duplicate key issues.
All Chip would have to do is add to the "1" to "0" dictionary keys the
extra entries.
Just a thought, knowing so many windows opened can end up a confusing
nightmare.

Hi Chip,
Thanks, Chip. The rotor is probably the most important enhancement. As
for the ability to save commonly-used app windows, this just seemed to
me a common-sense time-saver, but I see your point that, being based
upon window handles, the state of affairs would be fluid, and therefore
its not castable in stone. Smile You can see whether you think it's
worth it. I'd really simply be tickled pink by a rotor.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas from us as well,
Rod
