I discussed this in great detail with Rob, maybe a year or two back, and we
decided that it's not really feasible, for a number of reasons:
a) which window gets the click?
b) many programs ignore simulated events - which a key-press mouse binding
would produce.
c) it's too complicated (or that's the impression I got) ;-)
Having said that, if you, Chuck, can find a way, I would be _very_ interested
in seeing it in 2.xx!! (I move the mouse pointer by key-presses alot too!)
Tara,
Ben.
