- My original cube keyboard does not have Page Up/Page Down keys (I
- don't know if pizza boxes do or not).
-
- My one beef with the NeXT interface is the departure from the "norm"
- as to what clicking in the slide bar but not on the slider itself
- means. This should produce a page-up, or page-down, i.e. move the
- screen up or down by one screenful. However, it was decided by the
- gods at NeXT that it should mean "go to the place in the document
- where I clicked, assuming the top of the slide bar is the beginning,
- and the bottom is the end". Very nice indeed as a quick way to get to
- the top or bottom, but how about paging without scrolling?
-
- Has someone provided a patch for this? (Where are Mac-style INITs
- when you need them?)
