User talk:Paullisa

Paullisa, Welcome to Wikipedia! I saw your edits to Icelandic horse -- excellent work. I'm glad we have you aboard, especially as translators -- you can see, we've plenty of work to do. I can only contribute some very poor German translation skills, so I try to recruit and encourage others with more ability than I have. :-) Anyway, I'm just leaving you a few useful links that helped me when I was new here. You seem to know how editing goes, but Wikipedia:How do I edit a page is sometimes useful. Questions can be asked in several places -- if it's a general question about how things work here, Wikipedia:Help desk is the place; a more complex question or one which is intended to spark dialogue in the community should go to Wikipedia:Village pump. If you just want some advice, thoughts, or maybe someone to look over changes you've made to an article, ask an editor on their talk page -- mine's at User talk:Jwrosenzweig and I'm always happy to help. I'd encourage you to look around and edit, but you already are -- good for you! Keep it up, and I hope to see your good work around here often in the future. Jwrosenzweig 16:55, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt welcome!

Actually, I do have a question (I'm browsing the FAQ, etc, but maybe you can help too. Is there a way to "turn off" the control-codes ("control-e" seems to submit an edit, for example) when editing? The ones provided clash with some local ones I have set up.

Hmmm, you seem to have found a question for which I have no answer. Not so helpful, am I? :-) This is an excellent question for either the help desk or the village pump (probably the former). The only sure solution I know of is to go to your preferences (at the very top of the screen) and select a skin other than Monobook (which I believe is the only skin that allows these hot keys), but I like this skin best for editing, so I can imagine you not wanting to do that. There's probably a command you can write in User:Paullisa/monobook.css to disable the control-codes, but that's as much as I know. Good luck, and let me know when you find the answer. :-) Jwrosenzweig 17:21, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
