No. I type on the keyboard and the last document im working on just appears on the screen with no lost keystroke. And i dont have to remember to turn it on. Then when im done i just leave it there and it will shut off or i can just press the power button and its gone. I dont need to save it. and when i type on the keyboard again i am back where i left off with no lost text. when i press alt and hold it down im back where i left off but with a translucent window this time and when i type "2007 Fiscal Budget" it appears in the translucent window and at the same time the cursor jumps to the matching string in the document as i type. if i use left alt cursor jumps down to the next matching string and if i use the right alt key it jumps up to a matching string before the text under the current cursor. if i make a mistake i can press the undo key and the original text comes back. when i plug in a camera pictures would be downloaded to where ever the cursor is the text will automatically wrap around it. if i want it somewhere else then i can cut and paste it to wherever and text automatically goes back into the space left by the picture. And if i want to edit the picture i can do it in place and not have to remember to start gimp. i can also navigate to a config document and edit the settings and when i make mistake i can use undo and also spell check it. same with a c source document. i can spell check, embed pictures in it and whatnot and compile it. if i am creating a poster i can copy paste graphics and put them together and add captions and then spell check the captions including whatever text is included in the graphics.
