David, I havent downloaded it yet but given you're taking feedback (and this request seems topical) can I ask if the Tools -> Options -> Environment - > Keyboard dialog has been fixed so you can resize it and not scroll thru 3 shortcuts at a time !

The word ‘impact’ has diseased the modern western world. Respectable newspapers, TV news reports, journalists, scientists and suburban people are now using the word with reckless abandon. It’s a lazy weasel word that betrays lack of imagination or literacy. Wherever you see the word ‘impact’, you can always find a more articulate and expressive replacement. For example, if you think the word ‘impact’ adds impact to what they write, you probably want more gravitas. You can replace ‘negatively impact’ with degrade or impair, or deteriorate, or hinder, or lots of other real words.   Greg
