Fill in Password

[Romeo]

Hey guys, I have W2k and a 101, give or take, keyboard.  On my keyboard the ` and the ~ are on the same key.  I was just wondering if that is the case on all available computer keyboards.

The reason I am asking is because referring to <ctrl>` is not as easily understood as referring to <ctrl>~.  The ` could easily be mistaken for the '.  This is why I would, in the fuure, like to refer to it as <ctrl>~, and <alt>~, respectively.  Do you guys see anything wrong with that?

edit:  Or may be someone has a picture of this key ????

I like the first one more.If you refer to it as ctrl~, won't newbies be confused unless PasswordMaker responds to that shortcut? Are you saying the shortcut should be changed?

You are correct, it doesn't respond to <ctrl>~, to <ctrl><shit>`.  I hadn't thought about it that way.  It's just that I went thru getting my dad used to using PM and always said: "press the <alt> and the key with the wave on it" and he knew what I was talking about.

And no, I am absolutely not wanting you to change the shortcut, because when you say <ctrl>~, you would have to press three keys and for people like me, who always fat finger the keyboard, that's not good - just joking.   :lol:   But no, don't change it on my account.

And thanks for the pics, I'll try to get them into the manual somehow, to make it more clear.

If you wanted, I could have PasswordMaker respond to BOTH cntrl-` and cntrl-~

No, that won't be neccessary.  I was just trying to think of a way to make it clearer in the help manual, but I think the images will do that very well.
