So, I then rigged up a system of a piece of wood and a 2 1/2 pound weight to hold down the function control option and command keys and therefore allowing me to read down and up Buy sentence with a single key press on the up and down arrows. This will save a lot of wear and tear on my left hand nerves. Sent from my IPhone > On Feb 14, 2020, at 12:43 PM, Jonathan Cohn <jon.c.c...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Well, I can’t test here.. > 1.
