RE: Looking for the perfect 5250 client...

Just my opinion, of course, but Ctl-C and Ctl-V are easier and quicker to
use than the combinations you have chosen.  Ctl falls directly under my left
pinky finger making the motions to copy and paste very quick.

The insert and delete keys, however, require quite a reach that is unnatural
for a touch typist.  They also require the fingers to leave the vicinity of
the keyboard causing the eyes to leave the screen to assist in relocating
the fingers.

In my opinion, key usage should be designed to make the most frequently used
keys and combinations readily available to the fingers.

Just my two cents.
