I can't be of any help to you with respect to the question but, as a veteran
mouser and erstwhile physician, I can strongly recommend the use of a wrist
pad to help with the soreness.  Of course, if you are already using
one.......... :-)

Subject: indexing, any kbd shortcuts?

I'm trying to make an index for the new edition of the Customization 
and Programming Guide, and I'm getting pretty frustrated.

What I'm trying to do most often is mark terms, e.g., 'keyboard 
table' (rather than 'keyboard' or 'table'). I have the Index: Mark 
dialog open. I highlighting a term using the mouse - but then I have 
to move the mouse to the dialog and click on 'Mark' or 'add to auto=mark
file'.

Even to use the shortcuts in the dialog (Alt M for Mark, etc.) means 
clicking on the dialog, so I might as well click on 'Mark' while I'm at it.

I'm happy to use the mouse for highlighting, but clicking with it 
soon makes my mousing hand sore and on the verge of repetitive strain
syndrome.

Is there any way of marking a file for indexing without clicking?
