> /ChristianThis is actually not a bad idea. But we sort-of have this now already. In MathEd, I never delete anything but single characters straightaway. I don't dare to :-( If I want to delete a bracketed expression etc., I always select it first to see its extent. One could in the above situation make the first backspace invoke selection of the previous bracketed expression. I don't know how hard that is to implement. > -- > Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr - Martin
