Because you are still on 10.4.11, and I am using OS X Lion, it is no wonder there are 'differences' including what you have as 'Keyboard Navigation'. Navigating to 'Desktops' is a new facility built-in to Lion. Your equivalent would probably be called 'Spaces'. If you have a crowded desktop, Spaces is/are the way to go and you can have 16 separate ones on a 13" laptop. ------------------------ Regards from brianF =============== On 18/01/2012, at 1:45 PM, Andrus wrote: > On 2012 Jan 17, Tue, at 5:38 pm, Brian Ferguson wrote, in part: > >> Changing System-wide Keyboard Shortcuts needs great thought; you are more likely to make things worse, for example 'Command-d' for Duplicate is very common. >> > __________________________________________________ > > True it requires careful thought. Not to detract from a bit, but on my system (10.4.11) Cmd-d duplicates finder items, AND navigates to the Desktop in open/save dialogs. I'm quite sure it came that way off the shelf. I would feel very deprived if either one disappeared.

Things that I don't see in menus anywhere. However, I still don't see the navigate to desktop showing up there. It just works. How, I cannot tell. I had supposed it was a function of mapping to dialog-box items, but I don't know for sure. In the Classic OS 7.5 days I had a few programs where I could actually customize that feature by altering the starting character of dialog items in ResEdit. I loved that innovation, and hoped it would become universal, but it seems not quite so. :-( > > Ben
