Would it be possible to set some access keys ?
These are basically 'hotkeys' that map to buttons on a form..
e.g. "
access key P"
->
preview message
"
access key S"
->
send message etc.
As a founder member of the i-hate-mouses-with-a-passion club, I am sooo used to using these hotkeys on other sites, that I really miss them here.
Yeah, I know with some browsers you can TAB TAB TAB TAB RETURN, but the hotkey is much easier to remember.
Implementation is OS dependent - I think 'accesskey S' on MS is ALT-S.. On my system, it's CTRL (on it's own) then S. Some use CMD-S, some use CTRL-S
Anyway, all you need to do is add: accesskey="
s"
into the html for the button.. It's an official W3C html tag, too! More information here:

And yes, I know this post hardly ranks amongst the most critical, but in my defence:
1) It's quite easy to implement... We (and note how I say "
we"
to make this request seem more important?) only really want P for preview and S for Send
2) You encouraged me to post this request!
3) I'm a bit drunk.
Thanks.
P.S. Actually, DON'T implement this - I need something to moan about!
