This must be common, it is *exactly* the same thing that I wanted to do. >I tried to RTFM, but I couldn't >find help. Correct on point two as well. The manual is abscure in places and wrong in others. I talked to the guys who wrote it, and they said that it was a beta release and the manual would be cleaned up for the real release. >Could someone please send me a copy of their .mg >file that has better bindings, or am I just doomed to create >a keymap with Backspace and DEL swapped, and muck with the >keymaps whenever I load? For the moment, yes. I told the creators (sorry I can't remember offhand who they are) about this and several other problems. They acknowledged them and said that they would hopefully be corrected in the next release of mg. I hadn't thought of modifying the keymap to make it correct, I might have to try that now. Good luck with mg, Phil. -- o| /// Phil Kernick EMail: phil@adam.adelaide.edu.au |o | /// Departmental Engineer Phone: +618 228 5914 | o| \\\/// Dept. of Psychology Fax: +618 224 0464 |o | \/// University of Adelaide Mail: GPO Box 498 Adelaide SA 5001 |
