Well Shane, the above sequence differs somewhat from what I've been told (never used it,though - no need). As far as I remember, one should use the LEFT Alt key. Then there's this little mnemotechnic concerning the sequence : "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring" - the capitals denouncing the correct order of the third key.
