There is no way to separate the two concepts with key selection (without adding additional mode-switching key sequences, which is what Bare Bones does). You can have one or the other, but not both. >Insight into a possible model for compromise--consider the state >when the shift key is pressed.

There is no room for compromise. The two models are antithetical to each other and one of them is the way that Alpha has worked all along. As I've said several times, I have no problem with providing /other/ ways of doing it[*], but we're not going to break the one we have now. [Before you object, since you don't like the way it works now, you're not a very good judge of whether your proposals are going to break it]. [*] As soon as somebody write the code. I don't think it requires core changes, but I could be wrong. Enough. I understand what you want. Stop explaining it. When somebody comes up with some code, we can debate that, but there is no point in discussing it any more now. -- Jonathan E.
