Hi Srivinas, 

There is nothing to be loved about those points ;-) But at least the task of
scrolling through texts had an easy and “natural” solution, which was adopted
in EO for example. It just behaves as one would expect and eliminated the
need for interclicks for scroll-up and scroll-down. Even on Ceres with
its 25MHz processor, it worked smoothly with no flickering. So at least for
that task, no more cheat sheet was needed. But I haven’t found a satisfactory
solution yet for some of the other operations (e.g., copy-to-caret, copy-looks)
other than adopting Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V/Ctrl-X..

If someone was, I’m a happy taker..
