It's obvious that the question on everyone's mind is "What does Lars think of this?" Well, since you're asking:
Command-N means New Document, and it always will, no matter what any piece of software says. My muscles aren't about to forget something they learned when bison roamed free across the Great Plains. RB is broken all right, but not because Cmd-N should be New Window. It's broken because Cmd-N should be New Project Without That Freaking Dialog Already!
What would the Finder equivalent of creating a new document be?
New Folder, of course, which fell readily to hand using Cmd-N from OS 1-9, and to which Apple should revert at once, before an entire generation of Mac OS X users is so damaged that they actually begin to think of the current anarchy as "normal".
I think the real solution is to allow users to customize the menu shortcuts, as then one can select a set that suits their uses the most.
Preferences are good, but they solve the problem only for those users willing to investigate and maintain them. The other 95% deserve well-chosen defaults. lj _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
