You do have the option of "locking down" a modifier key by pressing it twice. Press once more to release it. Occasionally I find myself inputting a burst of keystrokes under the same modifier, in cases like that it can make sense to do this. (Think of it as a "mode", in the way that word is used among the vi crowd.) I use that when I'm going to be repeating the same control key binding often, i.e. when I'm isearching through a document looking at all the matches: [ctrl] [s] sometext [ctrl][ctrl] [s] [s] [s] [s] [s] [s] [s] ... [ctrl] instead of [ctrl] [s] sometext [ctrl] [s] [ctrl] [s] [ctrl] [s] [ctrl] [ctrl] [s] [ctrl] [s] [ctrl] [s] [ctrl] [s] ... // Ben
