Hi Internetworkers,

I have an older relative who was a professional typist for years, and who complains about using MS Office because she feels forced to constantly reach for the mouse.

The last program I remember using that wasn't quite as mouse intensive was Wordperfect. It had a zillion function key commands and came with a template that you could use to keep from having to mouse all the time.

Does anyone know whether there are any word processing programs around that are designed to make it easy to write stuff without reaching for the mouse?

I'm not even sure what a good place to ask for this would be. It would be even better if it ran on Linux, but we dual-boot to Windows when we have to.

Thanks,

Scott C.
