For me, what seems intuitive comes from looking at column 1 and column 2 on the screen (or the comm command). Having them right next to e helps, and I use the right hand for hitting return. It seems to go much quicker for me. The thing is, there are enough people used to the current behavior and/or find it intuitive that I don't want to argue about whether to change or keep the current defaults. Such arguments drain energy and keep anybody from moving forward. -- -Chuck
