Hi, Zooming and panning are needed all the time when digitising and therefore I keep left hand fingers on Alt and Shift keys. There should be a good reason for changing the current Alt, Alt/Shift and Ctrl shortcuts. Z, S and and M would be easier to remember for new users but on the other hand Z and M far apart on the keyboard and hard to find without looking at your fingers. Z launching the Matthias zoom might be good for digitising. Box zoom is missed but one easy-to-remember key for pan and zoom would be an advantage.

I think it would be good to keep CTRL and ALT as shortcuts to select and zoom tools (maybe switching from old zoom tool to new mathias zoom tool to get also the pan) and use single letters (without meta-key if possible for specific editing operations). What do you think ?
