I still think multiple mouse shortcuts or action is confusing to the user and while I'm not sure what other developers are doing, I'm not prepared to waste every second shortcut or modifier key in an already limited environment. What if I come across a completely valid different operation for one of the existing shortcuts and need to use it for that, which would I choose?
Simple - just ask users and follow the consensus. That's what we do.
I can understand the pen and tablet devices, but since when did that require the option of both shift or control modifiers for this mouse operation?
I don't understand this question.
I must add, I'm not particularly worried if Inkscape devs keep this, but perhaps you might provide a preferred option for those developing other software to follow. Remember other OSS programs have other needs and other commercial packages to keep up with/overtake.
We do not force our keys on anyone. We choose them because they are convenient. If you think they are convenient, copy them, otherwise don't.
