I'm thinking this will be confusing, given the number of other things that are being done using the mouse: Selecting, moving, resizing, connecting, opening properties. Having a menu entry is a good idea, though I think F2 is not the right thing for it -- editing text is not the same as renaming, and F2 is not exactly "at hand", keyboard-wise. I would prefer something that fits better in a workflow, which is another reason I'd rather keep the mouse out of it. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
