I sent you this a while ago but I don't know if you received it.

Hello,

I've experienced some frustrating moments recently when, for example, I 
wanted to freeze the screen content and couldn't remember what the key 
combination was.  Obviously, when I figured it out it was too late.

The issue with the FREEZE command is that we don't use it very often and 
therefore its key binding is easily forgotten, but when we need it it's 
usually a matter of urgency.  So I've changed its binding to form the 
letter f using the ETouch keys which is much easier to remember.

While at it I've used the letter d for the display mode to replace the 
obscur key combination it was bound to.

Letters b, g, h and j are still free.

The MUTE command is also something you may want to invoke in a hurry.  
So I've rebound it to F3+F4 which is much easier to activate (i.e. 
require less precision) than with the tiny smartpad direction keys.
