I *think* all mice were red, yellow and blue, once upon a time. Then
some folk started bodging together OSs which could only handle two mice
buttons and the rot set in. I think it's a tragedy: using the middle
(yellow) button to copy and paste is a real time saver.

As to the Alt & Ctrl keypress debate, I'm actually happy enough with it
as it is. While I've no objection  to some swap around appearing as a
preference, I'd like Squeak, by default, to operate the same on all OSs.

Cheers
