If I point to a greek alpha symbol with my mouse it shows me a hint that I can type "alpha" for the same symbol. However, if I click it, it actually places the symbol in the document, but if I type the words "alpha" in the document it just leaves those words and doesn't replace them with the actual symbol. Is there a way to get it to replace my words with the actual symbol? I absolutely hate using the mouse as it slows down typing 10 fold. It seems however that if you don't absolutely love the mouse, you'll hate Maple. Are there any plans to make it more useable for those wishing to get on with it? I've come to Maple from Mathcad and honestly, this system seems to be much more powerful, but its lacking quite a bit on the user interface side. I'd also like some way to have the document interface move to the next term without having to hit the right arrow. Mathcad uses the space bar with is much much faster when typing things out. Is there a way to remap that? Thanks, glenn
