However, accels for any menu action should be easily user configurable. Sometimes, obscure actions can become common for special cases. This is why I like the GTK (gnome?) way to set menu shortcuts on the fly. I often take advantage of this in pcb. Unfortunately, the accels are not saved. > Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V are two key actions surely? In addition, these are the standard accels I'd expect in every app where applicable: [CTRL-Z] --> undo [CTRL-SHIFT] --> redo [CTRL-F] --> search [CTRL-R] --> replace [CTRL-S] --> save [CTRL-SHIFT-S] --> save-as [CTRL-O] --> Open an existing page [CTRL-P] --> print [CTRL-A] --> select all [CTRL-W] --> close current page [CTRL-Q] --> quit the application [F1] --> Open some kind of help window And yes, these shortcuts should be drawn in the corresponding menu. So the user can know about them without sifting through the manual. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
