On a related note... What do you think about a similar behaviour for normal cursor movements? If the cursor is at the end of a paragraph and you press Cursor-Right, the cursor becomes horizontal and is placed between the two paragraphs? Or does this violate a UI-taboo? (My thinking is that, intuitively, when I want to write something between two paragraphs, I'd like to move the cursor there first) The only drawback I can see is that you need an extra key stroke for moving between paragraphs, but I'm not sure that's a "big" difference /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
