Um..... It won't..... I should have read more carefully.

S. M. Ibrahim, so we're sure we're talking about the same feature,  
could you tell us exactly what actions you're doing (what keys you're  
pressing and when) and what you expected to happen? Then we'll know  
better what component is responsible for making that happen and what  
to recommend.
