About the only thing I need the keyboard for in Claws is to highlight text to be quoted in a reply. The scrolling thing is just a matter of using a different key, Return instead of Down. The scripting abilities, plugins and rock solid stability (even when I was using CVS versions for the last few years) more than make up for having to relearn one key binding. -- Neil Bothwick Capt'n!
