    how sometimes a simple mistake on the keyboard can open up whole new worlds for you! :laugh: While half paying attention attempting to build, I press Ctrl-Alt-B instead of Shift-Ctrl-B. "WTF?" I think to myself while staring at this new-found window.... Where's my build? :doh: In disbelief, I do it again! :doh: So now that I've enlightened myself with the Breakpoints window, my world is so much more complete. ;) What was your greatest short-cut key combo discovery made in error?

                          I've long since ripped those keys (Power/Suspend/etc) off my keyboard. Though I have found that in XP it is possible to configure/disable them.

                                          how sometimes a simple mistake on the keyboard can open up whole new worlds for you! :laugh: While half paying attention attempting to build, I press Ctrl-Alt-B instead of Shift-Ctrl-B. "WTF?" I think to myself while staring at this new-found window.... Where's my build? :doh: In disbelief, I do it again! :doh: So now that I've enlightened myself with the Breakpoints window, my world is so much more complete. ;) What was your greatest short-cut key combo discovery made in error?
