clicking wherever you want to put keyboard focus. But clicking for<br>
focus is invokes whatever selection where you clicked (even though you<br>
only want to gain keyboard focus on the list) which could cause even a<br>
modal pop-up if the text pane was dirty. Clumsy!<br>
<br>
With the option to Enable this setting, merely pointing provides<br>
immediate keyboard control to the widget under the hand, without<br>
needing to click. That is real "point-and-click", because you point,<br>
then you can "click" with any key not just on the mouse, but also the<br>
keyboard, to manipulate the UI. Control is magnified under two<br>
dimensions of input.<br>

We all in this community set what we want for all preferences. Many<br>
of the default settings specified in ReleaseBuilder are the opposite<br>
of my personal settings, but the best choice for the defaults. This<br>
is about the _default_ for Squeak, not our personal preference.<br>
<br>
I think we've reached a time of such technical-diversity that don't we<br>
need to care as much about emulating Windows XP. Squeak can do<br>
better, and I think it should.<br>
