Both. My guess is that for most it's a change once, or adjust config gradually situation. But we regularly have people on IRC who tell us they configure shortcuts all the time, and have their current most common workflow on F1..F6 or such, or on Alt-foo bindings that are mostly unused. We even get reports from those who have gtk-can-change-accels enabled, but as said earlier, please not ;) I think my actual point here is: There are so many usecases and levels of complexity in peoples' workflows, and in the applications that can be written in GTK+, we should not disable useful things because they are either not in fashion any longer according to whoever defines "fashion", or are out of scope for some refactoring. Instead, rather adjust the scope of the refactoring. --mitch _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
