I don't see how to use Quickeys to get a SEQUENCE of (possibly modified) keystrokes to stand for a command, e.g. followed by f to stand for the command "move forward one word." Is there a way to use Quickeys or some other system to bind a key like to a complex conditional command: "Press a key, if it is "f" then go forward a word, if it is "b" then go back a word, ..."? -- Gilbert Harman Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 ghh@princeton.edu HARMAN@PUCC.BITNET
