With a recent hard-drive purge, I lost my keyboard shortcuts and feel cut off at the knees as a result. Does anyone have the MCR files with some of the shortcuts popularized by Evan Shu and in our Boston Dbug meetings? I'm thinking in particular of ones such as Alt Z for changing text contents, Alt D for Divide, and a bunch of others. Kicking myself for not having a print-out and a backup of all the dcad support files.
