I guess that's a good idea to additionally add that finally,
despite that I personally like the new system much more. The
additonal features are nice imo, (mostly I type numbers so, and
when you don't like numbers, it's of course not really optimal).
I guess many peole will just have to get used to type numbers, and
for the rest, as you requested - may add the old system as well.

course, patches are always welcomed.
PSII: thanks for the feedback so.
