Hi Okan, fellows, Let me decipher that nuisance map above.. The logic is simple: hold the 4- key and arrows to move the pointer, add the M- key to move the window, or the C- key to resize the window, for an extra boost use the S- key on. Still not interested presumably, but please let me know is it the 4- or?? Kind regards, Anton
