Hmm. Well, one could click "Evaluate", though of course doing it a lot could be annoying/repetitive stress inducing... I have been trying different things on a colleague's normal non-laptop PC keyboard; perhaps 2nd and 3rd or 2nd and 4th fingers (counting thumb as 1st finger) would work for you? I really think that some combination of "pointer + another" might be suitable, if your keyboard configuration is similar to hers. Of course, this means one has to shift the hand every time, but only right-left, not twisting (I hope). However, I doubt that Return will become even an option, because one would want multiple lines in a single cell. I have no idea what the status of Enter would be, or even if every OS/popular browser would recognize the difference. Minh? But keep asking these kinds of questions. A while ago there was some very helpful feedback on the best way to default-show graphs for different types of color-blindness - the Sage community is interested in keeping the software usable for everyone, not just 90 wpm typing speed demons with ultra-ergonomic keyboards or perfect voice recognition software :) - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
