Re: [Gimp-developer] [Fwd: [Bug 123647] Changed - Allow attaching additional (hidden) keybindings (accelerators) to menu entries]
Hi, If this is an almost-concensus (only myself, Alan Horkan and Raphael seem to like the change), it seems reasonable to revert the redo shortcut to Ctrl-R. Cheers, Dave. Tom Mraz wrote: FYI (multiple keybindings per menu action in GTK+). As I see it will be implemented in GTK+ 2.4 I vote for leaving the current redo keybinding as is and wait for GTK+ 2.4 with the change.

Unless Ctrl-Y collides with another suggested shortcut in the HIG, it seems like a reasonable choice then. We should ask the HIG people to make this the suggested Redo shortcut.

This way, we can later provide an alternative more sane extra shortcut using GTK 2.4. I don't think we ever want a second shortcut for anything. We should settle on a good default now. Since the HIG people seem willing to change their mind on Shift-Ctrl-Z because of the obvious ergonomic problems of this keybinding, we can decide now if we want Ctrl-R or Ctrl-Y.

Will you excuse me...but ..what CTRL-Y has to with REDO alltogether? CTRL + R - R is the first letter in REDO. SHIFT + CTRl + Z - Shift acts as amodifier to the CTRL + Z UNDO. CTRl + X - Stays next to Z and allows for fat toggling as has been argued. But... CTRL-Y? Why not just stick with CTRL+R? Maybe to pick the worst of both worlds? (Non standard shortcut + non mnemonic + change from GIMP 1.2 + Have to use both hands to press) Please CTRL+R for REDO, and for California Gov.!

For better or worse, Ctrl-Y is the most frequently used shortcut for Redo. CTRL-Y? Why not just stick with CTRL+R? Maybe to pick the worst of both worlds? (Non standard shortcut + non mnemonic + change from GIMP 1.2 + Have to use both hands to press) Ctrl-Y is the shortcut used by most Windows applications (except for Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro, using Ctrl-Shift-Z and Ctrl-Alt-Z) so it is likely that most users will already be know it. If we consider the applications for Linux or UNIX-like systems, then we find Mozilla that is also using Ctrl-Y. I discovered several others in the meantime, such as the mail client that I am using right now (sylpheed). As I have argued earlier, we should try to promote consistency with other applications whenever possible, because the majority of GIMP users are not using the GIMP frequently and it will be easier for them to remember shortcuts (or any other way to perform a given task) if they can re-use their knowledge from other applications. This is more important than trying to keep the same shortcuts as in previous versions of the GIMP, especially because the experienced users like you and me can rebind them easily. -Raphaël ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi, Raphal Quinet [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ctrl-Y is the shortcut used by most Windows applications (except for Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro, using Ctrl-Shift-Z and Ctrl-Alt-Z) As far as I understood, Photoshop uses Ctrl-Z for redo. Actually a redo in PS is just an undo of the previous undo step. Ctrl-Shift-Z gives access to earlier Undo steps but it's not actually a Redo action.

As I see it will be implemented in GTK+ 2.4 I vote for leaving the current redo keybinding as is and wait for GTK+ 2.4 with the change. The new menu API in GTK+-2.4 will solve quite a few of our problems. I am really looking forward to have the GIMP HEAD branch depend on 2.4 after the GIMP-2.0 release is out. Then we can finally clean up this menu mess. The new GTK+ menu API really looks very promising.
