I use 2 editors in Windows. Very often I copy (control C) then paste 
(Control v) to the Stata editor. But to "do current file" in the Stata 
editor I have to pick up the mouse and find the do button. It would be nice 
to have another Control + key command to "do current file". Alternatively, 
allow a function key to be programmed to do this task.

An additional request, give the Stata editor a memory of more than 1 key 
stroke for those of use who have occasionally lost text with a mistyped key.

Earlier in Stata 7 someone asked whether the review window couldn't display 
the the place in the window where it was last clicked rather than the 
bottom of the window, or at least have a key that takes you there or an 
option to set the window that way.

One last request: a key that takes you to the bottom of the variables 
window (rather than always the multi-stroke mouse).
