No, nothing slows down a data entry operator more than having to reach for a
mouse. Encourage them to embrace the keyboard.

I am not particularly interested in lectures on the purity of the 1980s
and F-keys and why it is important to teach users that F21 is
shift-F-something and that the only way to close a program is with F-3.

Upgrade to a PC keyboard with 24 function keys, then F21 is F21. :-) I've
been using one like this at home:

I need to invest in another one for work.
