This is sick ! come one. let's take a look at a more commonly used
Modifier used as a 'command' - the innocent Alt key. what happens if you
want to press Alt-F, and in the middle change your mind ? releasing the
Alt key would cause the focus of most GUI applications to go to the menu
bar - a very common behaviour indeed. it's so anoying isn't it ? wouldn't
it be better to map the "goto menu" behaviour to F10, like TurboVision
used to do ?
