I want to know if anybody out there has a package that allows more convient tweaking of the user interface behavour. Things I would like to see: 1) Arrow keys moving the I-beam cursor, instead of the mouse in Text panes. 2) Arrow keys moving the selection in List panes. 3) The resize-window button uses the current mouse position as the new window size, and the mouse is always over the resize-window button in the upper-right corner. You then move the mouse down the length of the window to get same size as before. I want the window to start at it's current size (irregardless of mouse position) and change size as a function of relative mouse movements. 4) When I begin typing I want the mouse cursor to disappear, and re-appear the next time I move the mouse. This way I don't have the mouse cursor obscuring my text when I'm typing - I'm just avoiding having to move the mouse to a far corner of my window. 5) It was a pain-in-the-neck to change my 25-line EGA to 43-line, would be nice to be easy. 6) Something like Amiga's Preference's program for tweaking colors, keyboard repeat rate, cursor appearance, etc - perhaps available from the system menu. Any hope of somebody already having this done? Anybody else want to see me take a stab at this? -- Cliff Click, Software Contractor at Large Business: uunet.uu.net!ficc!cliff, cliff@ficc.uu.net, +1 713 274 5368 (w).

I'd like to know if you get any responses, and if you try to do it yourself, I'd like to know how difficult it is.
