I will try. But some old habits are hard to die. I still use from time to time <cmd><opt><i>, which was my long-ago shortcut for italics, but is now used by TS to bring up documentation for packages. My current shortcut <cmd><i> hasn’t sinked in, even though it’s been several years since this change…
