--- Comment #8 from pb <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #7) Sorry, excise that last line: "If there is no rational reason to use "; should have been deleted. > (In reply to comment #6) > Thank you for a less dismissive reply. > > The multi-key shortcut already exists -- it is the keyboard walk of the > menus. In this case, it is alt-i (insert menu), l (co*l*umn). In the case > of excel, it is instead alt-i (insert menu), c (*c*olumn). The only > difference is in the choice of which letter represents "column." I don't > know why that choice was made; maybe it was a conscious decision for a good > reason (e.g., to be the same as 1-2-3), or maybe it was a random decision > (e.g., 'c' had been used for something else already, or just totally random). > > At this point, whether or not there was originally a rational reason to use > 'l', there are probably people who already use it, and therefore would be > unhappy if it were changed. > > The more general solution, as we both point out, is to make the multi-key > keyboard mappings customizable. Yes, I am an emacs user, for even longer > than mariosv either did or didn't use excel (not sure exactly what he > meant), so multi-key keyboard mappings are not exactly a groundbreaking > technology. > > If there is no rational reason to use > > > pb: I'm amused at your political slur; particularly while recommending not > > talking to eg. the UX guys to build consensus, but just doing it > > unilaterally ! =) > > > > Either way - personally I'd like the k/b shortcuts to be as configurable and > > familiar to people as possible.
