Indeed, I use Ctrl-Ins, Ctrl-Del and Shift-Ins exclusively, and have
done for years.  Makes selection and manipulation of blocks of text a
one-handed job, and often when I have folks looking over my shoulder
while I do work for them, they'll ask me what keystrokes I'm using
because I can select, cut, and paste, so quickly and effortlessly using
only that single close grouping of keys.

Saying they're "deprecated" is disingenuous, IMHO.  Even M$'s latest
wunderkind - WinXP - continues to support them.

Cheers,
