You can see it live in the second (mailing list) dropdown in the following page: https://whimsy.apache.org/committers/subscribe One thing I can do is stop the keystroke event from propagating to the page if the selectbox has focus. I don't know if you have favorite keystrokes that you would like to continue to be processed, but the keystroke handler could let some through and not others. I do this in the board agenda tools: https://github.com/apache/whimsy/blob/master/www/board/agenda/views/keyboard.js.rb >>> 2.

It is a matter of fluency. I took Spanish mumbley-mumbly years ago, I still can mostly read Spanish, and can construct short sentences mostly correctly, but can't keep up a conversation. > I appreciate all the help fine tuning this to my standards. > > Thanks, > > Craig - Sam Ruby >>> Ez-pz >>> >>> Craig >>> >>> Craig L Russell >>> Architect >>> [email protected] >>> P.S.
