Yet another TPU fix...

(1 / 1)


I apologize to those that had been accustomed to terminating their search
strings with PF3. I always thought that EDT would disallow that so assumed
everyone would have been using KP4, KP5 or ENTER. When TPU came along, it
allowed any KP key or RETURN to terminate the search string and I figured
(incorrectly) that everyone would have switched to using RETURN or KP4 or KP5,
since it seems a bit easier on the fingers.

So, for those that do things the hard way and in order that you don't have to
retrain your hands, I moved the regular expression key to PF2. That is,
GOLD/PF3/PF2/string or GOLD/PF3/string/PF2 will use the string as a regular
expression with which to search.

Now who among you always terminates the search string with PF2?
