GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148174
Menu tweaking
Last modified: 2005-02-19 16:27:44 UTC
patch to menus adds more keybindings used F8 and F9 for diagram treee and sheets and objects respectively, unfortunately these bindings only seem to work when the toolbox is in focus which makes them not very useful bindings (this might not be worth doing, I should probably provide an alternative patch). adds more Zoom entries, there were no menu items for the more extreme min and max values (eg 1600% and 5%, although I didn't inlcude a zoom item for 2500% which is the maximum for no particular reason) changes Objects to 'Object'. String change only, function names untouched. keybinding for show rulers added Preferences to Edit menu in the Document as well as the Toolbox (I particularly like this for some unknown reason). View Redraw F5 added: Copy Text Ctrl+Shift+C Cut Text Ctrl+Shift+X Paste Text Ctrl+Shift+V (NB Layers menu NOT included, leaving that for later) I used Ctrl+R for show rulers, same as Inkscape. As it is not something you are likely to be toggling very often a keybinding might be a bit of a waste I'm concerned we might want this for something more useful later but it can be changed and we can burn that bridge when we come to it ;) I wanted to add keybindings for 'show grid' and 'show connection points', but I could not decide on anything appropriate. Inkscape use # (==shift+3 US keyboards) to Show Grid but I'm not sure about it yet. see my post to the mailing list for the other changes http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2004-July/msg00087.html I added a keybinding for Select, Connected Ctrl+Shift+T because it is similar to Transitive ctrl+T. Added Ctrl+R to Show Rulers but I need to lookup how to also allow Ctrl+Shift+R to try and placate Gimp users. Redraw F5 Select Invert Ctrl+I

marking this bug as depending on 94019 because the patch there includes most of the changes I originally intended with this patch. (sorry about the mess)
Appears to be done by the application of the patch in bug #94019. Don't want to change Objects to Object, so closing this.
bug #94019#c17 > I don't think changing Objects to Object makes sense I'm not too hung up on it. I changed it on my copy and it felt right. Note gimp uses Layer not Layers. Unless I get a great big usability book or a really good user interface specification that makes it all precisely clear I'll leave well enough alone.
