By the way, great job on

Yes, we know, as word processors we like to keep our fingers on the keyboard. We've been working on a solution that would allow you to [control/option/command?]-tab across various portions of the document window from the text-edit area to the ruler above (if it shows), to select and move line-wrap indicators and tab locations, then into the various palettes and within them, then, finally, back to the text-edit area.I had hoped that I could use this to switch to a particular group (e.g. tables), showing the drawer if it's hidden, focus the palettes within the group, and tab through the various settings, to make changes via the keyboard.
This would equally apply to the floating palettes, if that were your preference, i.e. bring up by direct key command (vs the group command I'm looking for), and tab through the individual palette.
So... I'd like to request this for the next mainentance release! : )
PS - Yes, I'm a long time Mac user ('84), but this a word processor, I'd like to not have to resort to the mouse all the time. : )
Mark, it's great to know planning for this type of interaction is under way -- I'm sure you know that this feedback isn't meant as a complaint.rmark wrote:Yes, we know, as word processors we like to keep our fingers on the keyboard.

We've got the ideas, we're still working on implementation.
