Jane & Xiangfu-

The prospect of mtpaint being ported for our NanoNotes is very exciting. Its
simplicity and speed have made it my preferred raster editor over GIMP and
Photoshop, and I've been fantasizing about running it on my little
companion. I do have two suggestions, if I may.

First, when editing at the pixel level, I love the way mtpaint zooms in and
out consistently with the mouse scroll wheel. Could this function be mapped
to the volume buttons in our version?

Second, mtpaint is a very mouse-oriented tool. Am I correct that we'll
probably be emulating a mouse using the arrow keys? If so, might it be
possible to move from one cell to the next with one arrow press regardless
of zoom?

Lastly, unrelated, I believe that csound might be an ideal music production
tool on our platform:
