A basic idea is to find what is used most often and then make those keys the most easy to type, remembering the rule of one hand on the mouse at all times.
Finding the most used commands might be done by writing a recorder that is mode aware and then letting a large group of pros/advanced users use it. Once you get the data then you have a great starting place when it comes to deciding what is important and often used VS commands that are almost never used. Also keys with mnemonics are good. G=Grab etc. Really odd commands that are seldom used with hotkeys like alt-ctrl-shift B, are almost useless. You forget them, if you even do know when and why to use them. -- Douglas E Knapp Creative Commons Film Group, Helping people make open source movies with open source software! http://douglas.bespin.org/CommonsFilmGroup/phpBB3/index.php Massage in Gelsenkirchen-Buer: http://douglas.bespin.org/tcm/ztab1.htm Please link to me and trade links with me!
