However, I understood Spencer to be saying that he couldn't find this key combo in the list. -----Original Message-----

Spence,
There are some key combinations that I would swear were written for someone with the dexterity of a spider monkey, but Inster+Ctrl+G is not one of them. However if you do want to modify this key combination, Insert+F2, then k and Enter to launch the keyboard manager. Then Ctrl+Shift+D (Sorry about that, ouch!) and you should point to default.
