      MSGID: 2:240/1120.29 2e9fd500       CHRS: CP850 2       TZUTC: 0100       REPLY: 2:280/464.27 61ffb21a       //Hello Martin,//              on *06.02.22* at *11:32:00* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*       to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"Message editor"*.               MF> IMO, it should never have been changed from Ctrl+Y but that's only my        MF> opinion :)              There are good arguments on both sides. Ctrl+Y is what many Fido users       (including WP-users) are used to and I actually think its more ergonomic for       everday use because of the keyboard layout. However, it is also the standard       for redo on windows and even I keep confusing it with redo. So overall, I       think the platform consistency is the stronger point because it is easier to       get Ctrl-L fpr delete line right then using a different redo in just one       application.               Delphi itself uses the same Ctrl+Y default (as it is using the same editor       control) and it drives me nuts at time when I try to redo some changes. So       cleartly, there is a lot of value in keeping these shortcuts consistent across       applications on the same platform to help user switching between applications       without rebooting the brain.               Regards,       Tim       --- WinPoint 398.2        * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin!
