Glad to hear it. I was starting to think I was doing something
wrong.
Sure I have to move my hand to find the arrow keys, but the keys
are easy to find without looking.
More important, every once in a while I actually use a program other
than Emacs. (There I admitted it.) My mind is too feeble to adapt
to using different keystrokes for the same thing.
