Hi, Independent how many people like things, there's also a simple issue of managing Blender well.
I would not like to get such important changes in Blender just based on a moment someone complains and gets a bunch of mails by people who endorse it. Independent whether it's a good idea; usability is something to handle carefully. - We need to acknowledge that there's keymaps for a reason, not everyone is the same. That's why they're customizable. - We could provide Blender with a number of well maintained default maps; among which one could be for "learning blender" (minimal shortcuts even) and one "compatible for old users". - We also need to design good ways to support keymaps with input methods for tablet/pen, laptops without function/numpad keys, ndof devices, and multitouch. Within all these considerations we can also attempt to make something like a "default" map... but that's the toughest target ever. It probably will be just "the map used by the UI team" in the end. Which leads to the main issue: three out of four members of our current UI owner team is very inactive now. We need to refresh this team with people who get as much respect & recognition as we had during the 2.5 period, and then trust them to build and maintain a sane default. -Ton- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation [email protected] www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands On 26 Feb, 2012, at 14:38, Claudio malefico Andaur wrote: > Yeah, it's about time to change this (Border Select and 3D Cursor). +1. > > malefico. > > On 2/26/12, Knapp <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 6:52 AM, Jonathan Williamson >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Except that many laptops do not have an easy home key and the home key is >>> not a fast key to press when using the left hand on the keyboard and right >>> hand on the mouse regimen. >>> >>> >>> Jonathan Williamson >> >> I think this is the most agreement I have ever seen here on a proposal. >> >> Jonathan, I suggest you do what I do with my laptop, bring a separate >> mouse and keyboard with you.
