Not using one hand he won't, it is not desirable to have to use trhe

keyboard all the time. IF I took away the mouse is computer would be nigh on

unusable.

I can accomplish any task just using the mouse,

Classic. When some people can't win the argument with logic, they

resort to name calling and pointing out typos. I think it was pretty

clear what he meant.

No need to be rude. However it is no surprise that I am right.

And I think it is a bit underhand to respond in that way to give the

impression that you are being gracious when infact you are being quite the

opposite.

 

And for you to say that "Windows key-D is much quicker" is merely your

opinion

which is not backed up by any evidence. Firstly it assumes you have your

hand

on the keyboard which is a speculative assumption and secondly even in a

situation

of a some using a keyboard against someone using a mouse it would depend on

the relative position of the mouse pointer and the position of the keyboards

users

hands on the keyboard.

 

If people can't discuss something sensible what is the point?

 

If you want to enter a smart answers competion with me that is rather

pointless

because I will win that too. As I just did. So the net effect is that you

look

doubley stupid. So what is the point?

No, YOU are illogical, and IF you have set "hover to select" you can't

imagine the inconvenience that "idea" of yours would cause. Further

postings by you will be ignored.

Hover to select is useless and impractical, you can't ignore your
