i dont use key-bindings. ctl-l for location is not intuitive, ctl-l for layer is. all of a sudden, now i need to use key-bindings. i really did have it in my list of good things to do to learn keybindings. however, when i do learn these things, i would like to learn the key-bindings that all the people who were *doing* graphics determined were good and useful. i find it interesting all of the people who now have problems with it. people who actually use the application to make computer graphics, i am willing to bet. not people who open apps and try to figure out "what it does". as soon as you had a need for gimp-1.0 or an idea, the gui was no problem. this is not the case anymore. now you have a need or an idea and the gui is a problem. i say that when i learn keybindings, i would like to use ctl-l for layer, since this is what the gimp is truly very good at. knowing where your files are located is something that users should know. the people who prefer this gui probably have no idea where their files were stored by the app they last used that was like this. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
