Did I mention that I'm getting tired? It's almost time for me to go to sleep. ;-)
I've just re-read the thread below, and I appreciate that the old single-letter-single-letter shortcuts might not be able to be restored, that those functions would have to be reassigned to other key combinations. I missed you saying that before. BTW, I just mentioned the ones I probably use most as an example, I use a lot more - or at least, I used to. But they can be relearned, once they're reassigned. It should not be a reason to not implement them in the first place.
