There was also not quick reference and manual agreement with the Xaw
pcb, and the Gtk key mappings are supposed to be the same as what you
got with the Xaw pcb out of the box. I think the Xaw default key mappings
evolved and the manual and quick reference were not kept up
to date and perhaps those should be updated? I was trying to make
the Gtk version behave exactly like the Xaw version, so if a key mapping
is not the same as the default Xaw key mapping it is a bug. Of course
I'm assuming the key mappings in the Xaw pcb source code reflected the
latest intentions and it's the documentation that is out of date...
The Xaw pcb allowed for users to configure their own preferences
for key mappings and this is not implemented in the Gtk pcb yet.
But at least the defaults, quick reference and manual should be made
to agree however.
Note that there is a live key reference window in the Gtk version
you can get from the menu bar:
Window->Key Reference
and this should be in sync with what's coded in the Gtk pcb program.
It's probably what you want to look at for now as a substitute for the
quick reference and manual.
There is also a command reference you can get from the command
entry window when that is configured (in Preferences) to be a separate
command window.
