I've accidentally hit this zoom thing many many more times than I ever accidentally hit the dreaded Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

I'd be all for some sort of "get me out of here" button when it's first activated. -Jordan > 2009/10/25 Joe Zimmerman <joe.zimmerman...@gmail.com>: > > Hi all, > > > > (First time posting to this list, so I apologize if this isn't the right > > place for such comments.) > > > > I just recently installed Karmic RC, and happened to inadvertently press > > Super+Button2 (this is not as crazy as it seems, since Button2 on my laptop > > is right below the space bar).
