I can't remember if the mouse position returns to its previous state after executing a 'click' QuicKey. If it does work, you could define yourself a keypad of sorts, one key to take you to the apple, one to the file menu, etc. Oh, and this would work in all applications, not just the finder. I'll report on my findings in a bit. Adam
