The modern editors are indeed part of the problem. Don't get me wrong, I am all for fancy screens, pleasant colors, GUIs, and modernity. But what I do not understand why break down and remove what it does work already. Another example that sometime drive me crazy is the lack of regular expressions in "Search" functions. However, you can move around with keyboard even in "modern" mua. When using normal keyboards I think you are exagerating a bit. The problem is indeed annoying with limited keyboards, though. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
