It really doesn't have to be dogma, stuff like this can really help building a habit especially if you use it every day. I had this problem when I used to play Counter Strike Source. I was weapon switching with the scroll wheel which is just terrible, and since it is a shooting game I was getting shot because in a tight spot I couldn't pull out my pistol fast enough. So I just unbound the scroll wheel for a couple weeks and then using the number keys instead was natural, and now it doesn't matter if the scroll wheel is connected or not, I reach for the numbers first. So after you fix the habit you can put the mapping back and still have it available. Totally Unrelated: I read most of your book about sailing (most I think, you're in the Mediterranean,) and I've enjoyed it, cheers.

Yes, but in modern times, the habit of navigating with arrow keys is a more transferable habit to develop. Assuming we use more than one program in our work. And almost no programs retain the archaic i/j/k/m navigation scheme -- not surprising, since those are letter keys and most modern programs don't require the operator to switch modes in order to move the cursor -- and why should they? A modern keyboard has dedicated keys for that purpose. > I read most of your book about sailing (most I think, you're in the Mediterranean,) ... Thanks -- well, I did have to sail the remaining half distance around the world from there. :) The above refers to my free world sail book: http://arachnoid.com/sailbook http://arachnoid.com/sailbook
