[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 925791, member: 88633"] I was wondering something similar. Is there any kind of rhyme or reason to how the modifier keys are assigned to certain kinds or groups or related tasks? I'm tempted to say that the Command key is the first line of defense and works with most other keys in a straightforward way. Can the Control key be said to "control" aspects of a program, whereas Command "commands"? Can the Shift key be said to work with keyboard shortcuts in the same way it's used to "shift" to a secondary character on a key? [/QUOTE]
