Well I'm glad to know I could do that... Of course Since as I
mentioned I do like a little protection from fat fingering as long as
I can confirm with the keyboard I would then have to see if I can't
reassign <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> to a command that opens a konsole running a
an interactive bash script that conditionaly ran: 
enlightenment_remote -logout

Ah... So the fact that I couldn't find a key combo to do that is a
theme issue...

After a bit of stumbling around trying to tell the diff between my
{censored} and my elbow, I managed to get  detour-0.7.3_e17.edj
installed. And yes, the tab/enter selection in the various pop-ups.
Though I note that the highlighting of the selected option with such a
slim blue outline makes my tired eyes squint... Even so, it's 500%
better than being stuck HAVING to "click" on such things

That would mean more to me if I had a clue about the shelf and
modules... Perhaps I'll find a good tutorial sometime.

I shall have to give it a whirl and see what I can get :-) It's to bad
about those *duplicates* But I like this much better than doing it
from scratch with the gui... I had E17 on my 54 bit laptop first.
This script made it fairly simple to clone the hard won configuration.

Thanks again!
