I wondered what you meant until I read post #2. I thought "Why would I want to suspend something when I'd made a mistake?"SamIchi said:Have you ever made a mistake in the real world, i.e. not on the Computer, and thought in your head Ctrl+Z? I've done this a few times. I just did it while drawing in my sketch book. I made a line that I didn't want and unconciously said Ctrl+Z in my head. I was like "uhh, okay.."
Damn UNIX is infecting my life
SamIchi said:Oh yea, I didn't even think about that. I only use PC's at school, but I still think Ctrl+Z when I use my mac.
Ah, other way round for me. When I get used to an interface i take it and run with it, so typing some things for my old science teacher the other day in school, i kept hitting the alt key instead of ctrl because its where the cmd key would have been
More and more i'm thinking in keyboard shortcuts. I wish books had tabbed browsing without those pesky little tag things or folding pages.
No, I don't find myself trying to press Cmd-Z, but after playing too much Warcraft with voice chat, I often find myself reaching for the Option (talk) key when I want to talk to people

The last time I used control-Z, I was writing a text file in DOS and needed to end it since control-Z is end of file.
I rarely think about using edit keys to fix things but I remember painting during a class and I had to mix some paints to get a certain tint and I was thinking that I needed about 215 red, and some green and some blue. It's a shame working in 24-bit colour in the real world.
I think more in terms of wishing I had save points before I did things that I knew were stupid. Granted, it is better to have broken bones/groundings/liver damage, than regrets, but still, a save system for life would be great...
