It's like it's switching it between a bad emulation of the old Finder and a bad emulation of the NeXT file browser. It's a lose-lose situation. > > because I *still* can't remember all the stupid bloody shorthands > > and options are, and I'm damned if I should need to.

You mean, you can get an N button mouse and set it up so now you've got N-2 more magic combinations you need to keep track of. I really want a three button mouse that works like the old Sun (Select/Extend/Menu) or Xerox (Select/Action/Menu) models. CONSISTENTLY. Whatever studies led to the single button mouse and all the resulting layers of magic combos were horribly horribly flawed. So long as you only do one thing, a single button is fine. As soon as you need to add options, a context menu beats the pants off any metakey/multibutton combos.There's stuff above here
