I don't know whether it is wise to fool with too many shortcut keys,
dadiOH. Without a photographic memory, you never know what you may get!
I have always been afraid of CTRL+Z, especially. But that's not the only
one!

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
