You just need a convertor for the nano-pin to a usb-9 keyboard socket,
(=A33.99 from maplins) and stick the bluetooth fob in your shirt pocket.
Didn't the neuro-tech give you a leaflet explaining all this?

Correct. However, Alt > indents and Alt < unindents as well, so there is
no
technical reason why the behaviour of Ctrl Tab could not be made an
option.

Shift Tab is handled in CharInput():
            elsif keycode='\t' then -- ie 9
                if shift then
                    addAction(UNINDENT,{VK_TAB,unindent(VK_TAB)})
                else

whereas Ctrl Tab is handled in VirtualKey():
        elsif keycode = VK_TAB then -- Ctrl tab handled here...
            if control then
                addAction(INDENT,{VK_TAB,indentWith(VK_TAB)})
            end if

it should be an easy matter to comment/option that away and amend the
tests
in VirtualKey:
      elsif keycode = VK_NEXT then

to say:
	elsif keycode = VK_NEXT or (control and keycode = VK_TAB) then

I'll add this to my suggestion list, though it may end up under the much
more
complex topic of user-defined keys and/or user-defined tools.

If you have an idea for improving the window layout, send me a mock-up
(either as
a jpg or a demo program) and I'll see what I can do. As below, I will be
back on
this window, probably sometime early in the new year.

>+ Where are the line numbers?!
I think this is now the most requested feature. The Colours window does
now need=20
some kind of second panel, with 5 options for colouring a numbers column
and the
fold/bookmark margin, plus a lineno toggle, doable but not particularly
soon.

I guess people still really want that basic-style listing of line
numbers

As things stand, Ctrl F opens the find window with selected text as
default,
F3 is next (current target), Shift F3 is prev (current target),
Ctrl F3 is first (selected text), Ctrl Shift F3 is next (selected text).

If you want, have a play with F3key() in eafind.ew, which should be
self-
explanatory (apart from 'STOP' means 'start from top').

Personally, I would hate F3 to change the search target, so it would
need
to be an option, though I have no idea how it would be worded.

Thanks for the feedback and ideas,
Pete
