    Who else gets tripped up by environments that are similar but not identical? Example: the "refresh" widget is right of the address box in Firefox but left in Chrome etc. ...and the one that inspired this post. I'm writing this on a dual-boot Ubuntu/Win10 box. On both I run multiple desktops. In Ubuntu the desktop switching shortcut is Try THAT in Win10! Good for a double-take if you haven't met it before. Cheers, Peter

      Try moving the mouse around in a coordinated fashion after that, it's next to impossible!

        I once had a colleague who always held the mouse upside-down. She was a graphic designer and was drawing stuff like that with amazing dexterity.

        ... such stuff as dreams are made on

          :( And annoyingly, ctrl-alt-left-arrow did not revert it back! I had to go into display settings, fortunately it only mutated one of my three monitors. You can stop laughing now. :)

            You need to hit Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow to revert it to the default orientation. :laugh: The keys are saying "this side up" not "turn it for 90 degrees"

              With the cord facing her, on the bottom of the desk, or using an old ball mouse as a trackball?

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                I've been fixing Firefox's UI to undo that ever since they got infected by internot exploited and moved it.

                  Is that not an Intel Graphics driver feature? Been around since before Windows 7 with it.
