Thank you all for your feedback (all of which seemed to be in favour),
and just a quick follow-up on this, to let people know that a check-in
has now been made for swapping these accelerator keys (with a big thank
you to Matt Barnes).
This means that as of Evo 2.30 (which I believe is planned to be
released sometime in March) that Ctrl-s will be a shortcut for "save
draft".
-- All the best,
Nick.
