Netscape and the clipboard are the main reason I still need to mouse
(which is the reason for my other email re: mouse focus for split windows).

Emacs is all good and well but w3 mode really sucks. Slow to render and poor
rendering most of the time. (Really its the fact that most web site suck
so hard and couldn't follow a spec to save themselves).

Either way if someone can suggest mouseless cut'n'paste and mousless use
of netscape I'm all for it.
