David,
as far as filters are concerned, I'd strongly, and that means __strongly__,
suggest you to use keyboard shrotcuts to get to your filters.
Yes, stopping ytour work to configure keyboard shortcuts is a major pita, and
that is why most people donṫ do it in any software, even knowing it is
possible. However, GIMP has setup a unique feature that was once available to
all GTK+ applications:
dynamic keyboard shortcuts.
Just enable these once in preferences, and you will never again have to selct
a single filter in the thrid menu level more than once. The tooltip on the
edit->preferences->interface option that enable these shortcuts is self
explanatory.
As for layer combination modes...Martin, is there any clean way of allowiyng
setting keyboard shortcuts to layer combiantion modes? That ḋ be a nice
feature to have.
