Does anyone else find it annoying that when using another tool, you can't select all with ctrl-a
You can. It's a global verb, although it works differently in node tool.
, and shift into selection mode? Also, I
wonder if there could be shortcut keys associated with rotate 90 deg CW and 90 deg CCW.
There are. Look up Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] in the reference. There is a problem with them, however: these keys are only valid in selector, while the buttons on the toolbar call a different function and are global verbs without shortcuts. Those global rotates are broken (try rotating several selected objects, it rotates each one separately instead of rotating the selection as a whole) and need to be removed anyway. And the reason why the [, ] rotates are not global is that they work differently in node editor (rotate node handles). So what needs to be done is this:
- rewrite the global rotate verbs so that they find out the current tool and call different functions in node tool and in all other tools. An example of such tool-sensitive verb is Ctrl+A whence you can borrow the check code.
- assign the Ctrl+[] shortcuts to these global verbs and remove these keys from select-context.cpp.
This might be a good project for you :)
