I use the multi-cliking functionality permanently. It is very usefull, particulary : 1) to select nearly anything. 2) to see the precedence of operator. But It wortks only on my personnal computer (my private local licence), not on the computer I use professionally (on a network). I used instead the shortcut "Ctrl+." I suspect that many people are not aware of the multi-click functionality for this reason. It's a shame : it exists since more than 15 years. Concerning precedence, the most current pitfall is effectively "//" mixed with "/." Apart from this case, problem with precedence ara very rare. Wolfram has seriously studied this problem, and was astonished to discover that everybody interpret precedence nearly on the same manner (I can't remember my sources, Wolfram literature probably) "James Stein" <mathgroup at stein.org> a écrit dans le message de news: j25l68$p0h$1 at smc.vnet.net... > DrMajorBob said: "When I wonder what operator has higher precedence -- as > I > often do -- I > double-click on each operator in turn, and automatic selection expansion > tells me what I need to know." > > I never heard about this; I just now tried it and it doesn't work for me; > I > looked briefly for documentation and found none.
