Do you mean Control-Meta-% (Control-Alt-%)? If so, then how does one accomplish that keystroke? It seems to me to be the equivalent of Control-Alt-Shift-5, and that doesn't seem to work for me (and seems impossible for me to even do with only two hands). How am I misreading this? Like I said, sorry to be dumb, but this looks like very promising, and I just could not make it work. Thanks for the help, Patrick
