Why to change? You can use Ctrl+F1 for help. Zooming is more frequently used than help, therefore using one key to zoom and 2 keys to call help is not bad. This is a basic optimization. For zoom, Alt-F1 and F1 are *not* equivalent. This is a remark which was made many times. F1 centers the screen to the mouse cursor, Alt-F1 does not. To be able to use the same key, you have to find a reliable way to know if a command comes from an accelerator key (you can use the mouse cursor position) or a menu activation (you cannot uses this position). (I do not yet found this way) There are many other commands like that. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
