I second the "don't laugh" - you have no idea how many times I have to
select "redo the merge" when upgrading servers usually during a
late-night maintenance window, with a brain only functioning due to

(Not that I have any suggestions for other keys to use, mind you - but
the mind's wiring does have a problem with getting used to pressing a
key with the left hand to select the right side of the screen and
vice versa...)
