> The unshifted numbers are used for first-character
> If we adapt an 'open mode' spell I do most of my navigation in reverse date sorted mode, searching and finding not necessarily by thinking of the first 1 or 2 or three letters/nimbers of a file, rather by a combination of almost subconscious thoughts on a file extension or LFN whole word "pictures" or colour predefined by "zcolors.ini"-lets call it intuitive searching. I agree the term for Walter's whim should be called spell searching, not open mode. Also, I thinks Walter is suggesting spell searching to be active only with the shift key held on, so what is his suggestion for spell searching on the file A1B.txt? The proposal to have the unshifted 0-9(either toprow,keypad or both) as function keys and have navigation consistently active only with the shift key down, is just one of many things which I think would be a better path to pursue. Different strokes for different blokes Perhaps no change at all is better still. ....Steve
