Re: Stuck in analysis paralysis

Good to know. And, aside from crashiness, I do think the meta keys
should be easy to get to, since ctrl is the one main thing I tend to
use the menu bar for. I would think that one tap on an invisible
button would be the quickest way to access those.

One more question on the subject of the pie menu if I may... Sometimes
when I release after the menu appears, it immediately vanishes. Any
improvements there?

Thanks!

Tamara
