That makes sense, thank you. And clarifies what Matan said so I get it, now. I'll consider my options. I may be able to think of a better choice that will work for me.

Excellent, I'll try this too. Thank you.

By the way, I love Launchpad. I love being able to rotate the screen quickly, love being able to stop the screensaver from going into effect (I often sit in meetings with PDF files and need to have just one section of a PDF showing for a long time), and I really love having a possible stealth recorder, though I haven't used it much. Yet. I'm glad I risked the install with my technical inexpertise, it's been very useful.

UPDATE: Changed my introducer to dot, and after a couple of weeks it's working great for me. I always pause after typing a period anyway, so it has worked out perfectly. Again, thanks for Launchpad!
