I hear this a lot of time. Apart from having stuff accessible with a keyboard easily, here's one example when mnemonics/access keys rock. You surely appreciate shortcuts. Everybody knows how sweet they are for accessing most used functions. But there is a limited number of shortcuts until they become too obscure. They are flat keycombos. Mnemonics on the other hand are structured/nested. You can memorize access keys (sequences of keys) for features you use often, but not _TOO_ often. I usually use features from the layer menu without adding shortcuts for them. A simple Alt+L,C,C gets me the curve tool, Alt+L,C,L the levels tool. There's a couple of functions I use as often. Mnemonics are a default so wherever I go, they work (on the same locale). So please don't play down their usefulness. I love them. I love the dynamic shortcuts too btw. I'd say I can't imagine a shortcut editor more user-friendly than the dynamic shortcuts hack. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
