    I thought that easter eggs were things that you could not do/see in normal mode but this just gives you options which you can do anyway! Am I missing something here!
    Anyway still a nice find Victor you really are a cyber geek!

    Right you can’t see or do this in normal mode. Unless you dig deep you can’t see it, unless you know its’ there. So I think it’s an Easter Egg but I’m wrong a lot, so who knows ;) Like you said , I thought it was fun and wanted to share it. That’s what I do.

    just curious, what do you use to show the command sequence on screen or is that some accessibility feature i haven’t found?
