I would like to use the Esc key to activate the Modify function. Is that possible?
Also, Alt-E does not work for Ellipse (I could use Ctrl-C), and Alt-T does not work for Text (Shift-T would be OK since Ctrl-T is taken). Alternately, you could teach a man to fish instead of merely giving him one. But that would mean documentation, gods forbid. If the Ctrl-Delete was in the menu pull down I would have known about it years ago. Instead I have been accidentally deleting text throughout that time because Dia is literally the only program of dozens I use which has that function. Please consider an Edit menu with the following: Delete............................Delete Delete within Text...........Ctrl-Delete BTW, Cut is also the more common Ctrl-X, Copy is Ctrl-C, and Paste is Ctrl-V in addition to the more complicated Shft-Ctrl-X,C, and V that are shown in the Edit menu. I would advocate going for the more common usage generally rather than making new keystroke standards just for Dia. It reduces productivity for new users to have unusual shortcuts. For years I have not known of Ctrl-Delete. How would I know that? Only from the recent conversation. I would be happy to maintain a file of shortcuts that the programs calls for setting at start up. Or some sort of dialog which is common in Windows programs like Tool,Options, or Tools/Customize which are commonly use for this sort of thing. I am accustomed to looking for Tools/Customize when I want to do something like this. What I really like is the ability to record macros and run them with a shortcut key. Any program that offers this is automatically much better for people that have repetitive stress problems, and increases the productivity of power users.
