A user interface without mouse clicks?

Which reminds me, I think there should be a key command for Open Detailed Help for Whatever is in the Context Help Right Now.

Don't forget that you can right-click just about anything and there's usually a Help option that takes you to the same place as the Detailed Help link. Context help doesn't even have to be open.

Perhaps I use a faster mouse speed setting than you?

Maybe. The rest of your explanation sounds about like my setup, but I use a pretty pokey mouse speed.

Actually, you know where I notice the problem most? It's when I want to lock the Context Help. The little lock target is small, so I frequently miss it. While the PID loop between my brain and my hand is settling out, I frequently find myself accidentally hovering on whatever is underneath the edge of the Context Help window. That causes the Context Help to update, which forces me to start all over :headbang: .

Hmmm, now that I'm actually looking, though, I see there's a key combo for Lock Context Help....(slinks away sheepishly)

Yeah, but that's a click-retarget-click operation, or at least a click&hold-retarget&drag-release operation. When I want Help I want it now.

And beleive me when I say: The rest of us want you to get help now, too.
