Mac users don't/can't use a keyboard. UI design is driven by Apple gui. Thus everyone gets a moderately crappy interface.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 1:47 PM, Robert Reese~ <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ale@sixit.com">ale@sixit.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>What a terrible way to do it. If I wanted to run a command from the right-click, then give me the option on a context menu only. But what's even sillier is they have you take your hand away from the mouse and reorient it on the keyboard.<br>

Equally disliked is the software that makes you frequently remove your hand from the keyboard to do something with the mouse. Whatever happened to the convention that anything the mouse can do, the keyboard can do, too?<br>
