I did, and it doesn't. ALL combination keys work as SOON as the
second key is pressed (e.g. CTRL - S, CTRL - A and so on)
Is this another difference in XY3? It would frustrate me
no end to have to wait for the release of the second key.
As it is I can chain commands, for instance by holding down
the CTRL key and tapping P then S then D without lifting the
CTRL key (it gives me Print, Save, Directory in sequence)
