Howdy, Yes, I definitely understand that configurable keystrokes are pretty important. It would probably have made it in sooner, except that its quite a bit of work to implement. spencer On Jun 9, 2007, at 2:10 AM, Lukas Degener wrote:
Hi All, About those keyboard short cuts: Let me suggest something different. Just make the user interface configurable. The keyboard short cuts in particular.
Just think about i18n issues. For instance ctrl+/ is not that easy to do on a german keyboard: There, the '/' is above the '7' (unless you use the number block 'divide' key). I was sitting in front of a French keyboard lately, and here again nothing was "where it's supposed to be".
With so many different keyboard layouts around, I think it does make little sense to have hard wired keyboard short cuts.
Or just think about different user types. Many people are quite "religious" about their particular style of working. Just watch one of those emacs vs vi vs <rest of the world> threads... :-)
