We should figure out which reasonable shortcuts are free. As for using Ctrl + P for View (default), what is the smoothest way we should make that transition? idea 1. unbind Ctrl + R and bind Ctrl + P and expect user complaints of broken LyX. idea 2. For 2.3.0, bind both Ctrl + R and ctrl + P to View (default) and put a note that Ctrl + R will be deprecated in favor of Ctrl + P in 2.4.0? We could put the note in the release notes and the messages pane, each time a user tries to do Ctrl + R. Of course, few will read the release notes and few will have the messages pane open, but at least in 2.4.0 we can say "we warned you this would happen". idea 3. For 2.3.x we can bind Ctrl + R to a warning that pops up that says the new key binding for View (default) is Ctrl + P. Am I thinking too much about this? Scott
