I would love Journal to be on F5, but might be controversial: It would not be ideal for XO HW keyboard layout; HoboPrimate will likely bite you several times; it would clash with a key used by Develop Activity (not that I use it); maybe clash with another Activity (but none that I'm aware of)? But FWIW, a selfish +1 from me at least ;-) Regards, --Gary P.S. Oh if only Journal wasn't treated by the UI as an activity, but part of the shell. You could then just tap F4 and F5 to toggle back and forth between your current activity view, and the Journal.

This would be logic from the F(N) we have in the frame. On regular keyboards this makes sense, but on the XO-1 F5 is part of the "slider" keys. OTOH the keyboard mapping issue doesn't seem to be fixed in any distribution yet (how does SoaS handle it, BTW?), so not sure it will still be mapped this way in the future.

Hi Simon--that seems to make sense. Any feedback on the comps I sent? Let me know if there are any questions... I'll be traveling these next few days, but will be checking email occasionally.
