    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.

                          Ctrl-G on a Teletype rings the little bell inside.;P On a CP/M or DOS machine, it beeps the internal speaker, while Ctrl-P toggles the printer on and off to capture screen output. I've felt much better since I gave up hope.

                            > What was your greatest short-cut key combo discovery made in > error? Not the "greatest", but... One of my co-workers has a keyboard with custom "Wakeup/Sleep/Power" buttons where the PrintScreen/ScrollLock/Pause keys usually are. I have a habit of hitting Win-Pause to bring up the the System Properties dialob box on XP. Guess what the Win-Power combo does?? I've done it twice to him now...
