FN-SPACE is mapped to View Source, hence it doesn't matter where you click the key. I put the graphic on the left edge of the key because I a have a predilection for left-justified.

Maybe you could play with it? (It pushes X, Y, Z values to the stack: you retrieve them with 3 consecutive 'pop' blocks (found on the palette with the gear). The audio sensors do not yet work on the 1.75. Portfolio also knows about the 1.75 where it has a hidden feature: if you hit the left side of your computer, you get the next slide; right side of your computer, the previous slide. Note that Measure will launch but does not work yet. regards. -walter > > Tabitha > > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel > > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
