Hi Christian, [09.12.2005]

Yes: Every application -- some of them due to their nature like a drawing program -- has specific key bindings. No: There definitely exists some common sense about certain shortcuts. Changing shortcuts in OOo doesn't mean to invent some new funny key bindings, which every user will be suprised about, but to provide a reasonable set of shortcuts, which obey to the common sense and are maybe even "better" or more logical than others. While the usability of shortcut assignment definitely needs some improvement, I think that there is no need to neglect the "big picture". This is why I think that we should elaborate the design and foundation of the matter while finishing up all the current issues. > Before messing around with default shortcut-assignments, better > tackle usablility of the whole shortcut-concept first - just > have a look at the issues in issueZilla that deal with > shortcuts.

And it is not "messing around", but clearing up, straightening, aligning, standardizing, making logical ... :-))) -- Cheers, Vince ''' ô¿ô - http://www.openshortcut.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
