Ah, I thought you used your middle finger to take over from the index finger,
but now I see what you're doing.

Hm, yes that should actually work for both your and Peter's problem, but it
won't fix the variant of your problem as I thought you were doing things :)

So I think there is probably still value in both my suggested fixes too. Peter
