Hello,

I saw the following email on GNOME's Usability list and that that it 
might be good to forward it to this list.

Have a nice day.

Hi!

A proposal to move the mapping of input events to actions form an
application to a system-wide level:

http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2007/04/10/event-to-action-mapping-1/

All feedback welcome, including on style, terminology and grammar :)

Important questions are: do you want it?
How can it be made to happen?

GNOME Terminal's shortcuts, adding shift to the common mappings
to maintain console mappings like Ctrl-C for termination has been
mentioned as a problem here a few times.
An advanced implementation of my proposal would include the ability
the change console shortcuts like Ctrl-C to something else.

Besides possible improvemnts on my design document, next on my
list is a mapping configuration dialog, where I currently see
some scary complexity. All input and help welcome.

My impression is that Minefield is what you get from a trunc build of
the source (i.e the latest and greatest at any point in time). Grand
Paradiso, Bonecho etc are more stable snapshots (and short term
branches).

 Minefield was the previous name of the Grand Paradiso project.

  What's the difference between Paradiso and Minefield?

Hi, I just saw a message that I sent and got a answer to some time ago 
regarding firefox.
This message says it was sent yesterday,
but I think I actually sent it a week or two ago and got a answer.
My question is are messages at times re sent from a main server or something.
I have never had this happen before.
Thanks Mike.
