Hello Rick
Too bad if you take my comment personal, don�t do that.
I think that the programmer try to keep standard windows methods and routines.
I think that Shift-Tab is one that works in many programs for tab backwards.
Creating a different (new) button sequence makes it more difficult for you and me 
to change between programs.
Further on I think that the programmer makes a compromise between what options we as user 
are allowed to, and what we are not allowed to. As mentioned by someone else, great freedom to configure by the user, put high demands on the programming and invites bugs.
Don�t you agree as betatester?
There must also be a compromise between users, those who want to use the program
without configuring very much and those who are able to design the functions very detailed.

I hope I can make my opinion clear in your language Rick.
Local time is 1300 friday afternoon, lunch is over and I have to put in some more hours of work
before I can leave for weekend.
I wish you will keep up your good mood, Rick, and if you wish continue the chat.
