As a fellow dinosaur, I hear ya, Liz, but I don't think those have been 
messed with (yet).  20-some years ago, I had a rotator-cuff tear and 
using the mouse was agony, so I learned all the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X 
shortcuts and have never forgetten them.  I instinctively reach for 
whichever tool is closest and that's often the keyboard.
