yes of course keyboard shortcuts are great...but I'm lying sick in bed...typing with onscreen keys...

 

this post isnt about how to nav without gui buttons...its about getting back UI functionality.

The side buttons on my Mouse work just fine for forward and back in browser pages and folders in Windows Explorer.

Default setting on my Logitech G15 does.

delete a file

Um... I do believe I have a button on my keyboard for that

add the text back to the titlebar

Um... never been missing that, unless it's removed by a WB.

give you properties

Alt+enter

cut,copy,paste

Even more standard Windows shortcut keys

etc etc etc...

hehe

What's the big need for an 'Up' button?  Just click the parent directory in the address bar and it goes there.

Some of us dont use keyboard shortcuts, some of our keyboards are under our glass desks, so some of us are not benefitting whatsoever from some.. of the posts.

 

Purball, when you have been using toolbar buttons for as long as some.. of us have..year in year out.. things get engrained, one of those things, for some.. of us.. is an up bupponi

 

secondly, the breadcrumb bar in vista\7 is a complete bastard imo.

1 more time...this post wasnt about how to do these things with your KEYBOARD...not about programmed mouse buttons...its about UI functionality put back into the GUI where I(ME) want it...not the way MS wants it.

If you dont get that then this post wasnt for YOU.

I use...buttons,breadcrumbs,keys...the stars and constellations...whatever gets me where I want the easiest at that moment.

An up button just goes up and up and up without moving the mouse...but more important to me ...the delete button...I would have installed the whole thing just for that.

The titlebar text was a bonus...actual use of empty space.

This thing saves me a lot of right-clicking...something I just dont like to do...I need to save the strength in my middle finger for flippin' off smartasses.

Not a huge deal I admit...but...I dont have to pick it out of the breadcrumbs and I dont have to READ an up arrow.

Also...I love keyed shortcuts in something like photoshop...makes life easier...but I am not a touch typer so I have to usually take my eyes off the screen to use a keyboard.

I have several mental and physical limitations that make a mouse easier,if less efficient.My brain,big as it is,has Kelley Bundyitis.It will only hold so much before something falls out.

Changing focal depths from screen to keyboard with 50 year old eyes is a bitch.

So now does everybody see why I liked this? (cause I can splain more if ya dont get it)

I could learn them all I want, but if my keyboard in not accessible, whats the point, My Keyboard is under a glass desk with a musical keyboard on top of it, always has been, always will be..

I sit with one hand on my mouse and the other (in my pocket) ..no , under my chin with that elbow firmly planted on my desk.

 

The thinking man's position one might say.. Only time the KB gets pulled out is when I type.

 

Keyboard shortcuts are moot to me, and I can almost guarantee I can click my way to doing everything I need just as quick as u can keystroke it.

 

  Peace and love
