In answer to David Perry:
(1) I installed my TexWorks by download from the TeXworks webdite;
this was easy and straightforward, and worked OK "out of the box", as
they say.
(2) yes - mine does implement the sub-keys etc, ie ctrl-x--> "cut" OK,
these shortcuts are stated when you do pull down the
various menus (by mouse only of course).
The primary reason I would like to see ctrl-e implemented for the Edit
menu
is simply ease on the memory - I only have to remember this one
(as the Edit menue contains all the options I need when using the
kyboard)
its easy then to scroll down to which option I require from the
keyboard.
The alternative is to remember a host of hot key strokes, or
use the mouse (note that I generally use my Linux box for most things,
and this has the wonderful Kile editing system - which is
what I feel texworks ought to emulate).
As regards rsi - switching from kb to mouse is a bad idea for
the tendons as they pass close to the shoulder etc -so anything which
can avoid this is very useful.
(the same goes for left-hand access to the CR and up arrow (to get the
last
command-line command ) is also a serious problem - but thats another
matter.
