Hi Albert,

You are the rock!!!!! F11 and F12 work perfectly!!!!! this is exactly I
needed.

Thanks a lot!!!!

The second solution is not really a good one... I will be in the same
situation I was until your e-mail arrived: imagine you are checking an area
list on the right side of your screen and you need edit few times several
area lists close by....any time you want to paint, you need to go to the
selection tool which in TrakEM2 is fixed to the left side, and then paint
brush.....

Anyway, F11 and F12 key suggestions are great.

Thank you so much!!!!!

Bohumil

PS: Hope you and your family are OK during these strange times.....
