I am guessing here, but it looks to me as if you are talking of two different things: No menu editor will be "almost as quick" and "more convinient" when it goes to dynamically reconfiguring shortcuts. For example, when I use a filter twice in a row it usally gets a shift-f shortcut assigned by me. No dialog can make that faster for me. I guess there are three styles of usages: - mnemonics (i rarely used them under windows, and never under unix) - shortcuts relatively static (get used often by me) - shortcuts, dynamic (get used often by me) As you can see, I am not the mnemonics type, but I am also not the icon type (if I had time I'd donate a text version of the toolbox :). Others might have problems with dynamic shortcuts and need mnemonics to support their style of work. All that is well. And if my type is the absolue minority and people _do_ get confused by dynamic shortcuts (something I personally have never seen evidence of, but I don't deny it's possible existence), then switching it off by default is a sane decision. Howwver, I think the disucssion in the past suffered from the "my style is the only style" problem on all sides. -- -----==- | ----==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | | _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
