Thanks for adding these. I'll put these on the trac ticket. > It looks to me as if jumping would be writer's logic whereas staying in > column is programmer's logic. We always attempt program with the writer in mind, but indeed it is difficult for us to not think like a non-programmer writer. In the furture, please respond on the trac ticket instead of by email. Otherwise your comments are lost. We often come back to trac tickets that are 5 years old, and no one tries to find emails associated with them. Sorry for the inconvenience (I know trac is not the nicest thing to deal with). And thanks for your comments! Scott
