Description Alan Horkan 2002-09-23 19:04:22 UTC 
Page Up Page down should move up and down the page

currently the arrow keys move up and down the page.   
fist thing is to change the keybindings and clarify what i mean.  I will
file seperate reports later for the enhancements.  

they should instead be freed up for things like moving the currently
selected object or corner or connection point.  
If you can take a look at Gobe Prodcutive you will see this is really good.   

If the user accidentally scrolls way off into the middle of nowhere, Home
should bring them back to the centre/home of the diagram.

From IRC:

<Chep> I agree for Home. I use the arrow keys a lot for what they're
used for today...
<Chep> unfortunately we don't have page left / page right
<Alan> i knew there was a gotcha i forgot about
<Alan> ctrl+ arrow ?
<Chep> (however, I use Ctrl-Left, Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Up etc)

This Gimp makes a horrible mess of this, mostly because the developers
think that layers are hugely important.

Comment 3 Lars Clausen 2003-02-24 03:10:14 UTC 
In Gimp, layers _are_ hugely important.  Layers with alpha are the only way to keep picture elements separate while working on them.  I probably spend as much time in the layers dialog as in the picture window itself in Gimp.&#013;&#010;
