HyperCard had LOTS of keyboard shortcuts.
Recent-cards was a cool feature, but I didn't use it much.
I never use it: I just thought, on reading 'HyperCard Basics' it might
be fun to stir the pot.
Although a Recent Cards feature with a load of thumbnails might be,
indeed, a cool feature.
AND, various interesting responses have been posted . . .
It would be easy to recreate it with LiveCode.
Only the thumbnails were missing in the MetaCard version (aka FreeGUI).
OTOH i don't think there is much-interest in this; not enough to warrant a
recode.
Nice chatting with you, Al.
I'll second that about Microsoft Office.
Perhaps . . . if I can find the time, I'll make a merry little list of
all the keyboard shortcuts.
I use a Nostromo Gamepad as a way to quickly navigate around and do all
sorts of repetitive tasks
whilst I am programming: obviously that would not be possible without
all the keyboard shortcuts
Livecode possesses.
"works and looks like the software that I already use"
Is so subjective it shouldn't be bothered with.

Why does this make me think of lazy slobs who are not prepared to make
an effort to learn a bit?
Similar comments: "I couldn't change from Windows to Linux because I
would have to learn how to do everything all over again."
"LibreOffice is just not Microsoft Office." - you're dead right it's
not: that is one of its greatest strengths.
"I cannot give up disposable diapers and move to proper underpants
because that would mean I would have to learn how
to clean my bottom." . . . whoops, perhaps I should slap myself on the
wrist (or bottom) for that one.

Let's see what software I use:
Word-processing: Appleworks 6 [either on my G5 or the Windows version
via WINE on Linux]
E-mail: Thunderbird and TenFourBird [Mac PPC version of Thunderbird]
Graphics: GIMP [This, I believe stands for 'GIMP Is More than Photoshop'
. . . :) ]
Right: anyone for making Livecode look like Appleworks? . . . LOL
---------------------------------------------------------
Slapping antiquated Hypercard-like interfaces on Livecode is also fairly
daft as
that restricts access to the vast amount of things one can do with Livecode
which Hypercard never dreamt about.
