I tried these on the Mac. Command-R does reply too, but command-f does "finding".
Well, Vista is "different" from Mac OS X ;-)
Ok, but this tip is helpful for Mac Users too and shows, how plattforms become more and more similar.

You can use Cursor Options to change the size, appearance, width, speed, color and blink rate of your cursor to make them easier to see. Click Start button > type Ease in Search box and click Enter > under “Under Explore all settings” click the “Make the mouse easier to use” link and select a Mouse pointer. You can also select to Control the mouse with the keyboard by choosing “Turn on muse keys”, as well as other options such as select pointer Speed and Acceleration and many more.

One thing I found, especially when testing Vista, is that using a laptop keyboard can bring many problems to hands’ and fingers’ joints. I solved this by purchasing Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard. The keyboard is split in the middle at 24 degrees, allowing for a more natural position of the wrists, plus the cushion palm rest supports the joints. Of course, if you can’t afford a new keyboard, you can try placing some type of cushioning material to the palm rest in front of the keys.
