Best Practices Question

[Richmond Mathewson]

I suppose this is a bit 'OT', but just have been 'mooching' at Devin 
Asay's stuff and found this:

http://revolution.byu.edu/helps/shortcuts.php

which made me have another hard look at my Nostromo n52 Speedpad:

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=164714

and realise that I don't have all those shortcuts set up on it.

This pad is for the left hand and really cuts down on the RSI. I have one
tacked on my Macintosh and another on my Ubuntu box, and as far as
I am concerned they make Revolution programming go much more
smoothly.
