Keys that don't work but should
- Esc doesn't appear to do anything at the activity level ... if Sugar is to help kids learn about computers then they should know that escape, outside of Sugar, does a lot of stop-gap good. Is there no 'Esc' on OLPC machines?
- Try using the Ctrl + Esc combination. --Dennis Daniels 15:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
