Comment:
I think the ESC key is not a good choice yet Martin. This key is always
associated to the action of stopping tasks, or closing things. For
example, hitting ESC in our dialogs, you close them. This is the expected
behavior. It would be strange to use it to switch between views, in the
same way that browsers would never use it to perform actions other than
stop or close.
The ESC would have some sense only in the source view, because here you
have effectively "entered" on it, so you could "escape" from it and return
back to the normal mode. The opposite would sound strange. Also, the ESC
key gives that sense that things done until now in that mode, will be
reverted back (not applied), just like a "Cancel" button.
In the other hand, it seams almost inevitable hitting key combinations
used by the browser: [http://allhotkeys.com/microsoft-internet-
explorer-7-hotkeys.html IE],
[http://allhotkeys.com/mozilla_firefox_hotkeys.html Firefox],
[http://allhotkeys.com/safari_hotkeys.html Safari] and
[http://allhotkeys.com/opera_hotkeys.html Opera].
We could try the CTRL+SHIFT+S, which only in Safari takes and action,
opening the save dialog. Actually Safari is ignoring the SHIFT, and just
applying CTRL+S, so if we can block the Safari action, that would be ok
for us.
The final "fix" would be removing the key combination for Source View...
(I don't thing the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S solution is really usable).
Let's discuss it further.
