Anyway, I've used the "*" shortcut for now, which goes well visually with the "|" and "#" immediately above in the view-menu. Besides, I was planning to use some kind of blinking asterisk for the on-canvas snapping indicator so this would make this short-cut quite intuitive. I stole it from the star tool however, which already has shift-F9 assigned to it. IMHO assigning the asterisk to the snapping toggle instead of the star tool is much more usefull. Am I offending someone here ;-) ?
Hmm, I used to like it quite a lot. IMHO this was one of the cutest mnemonics ... ;-)
But of course it's alright with me if people agree. Just to throw another suggestion in: How about the percent sign '%'? It looks a bit like a line with two nodes to which it can snap. Well, just a thought...
I also very much agree with jiho (who proposed this in a different email) that mnemonic shortcuts rather than F* keys should be in the tooltips for the various tools. Also, the keyboard shortcuts for the various possible actions in the Node Tool (like join/split nodes, make nodes symmetric, etc.) should definitely be displayed in the tooltips, at least for those for which a shortcut exists (not sure if this is the case for all of them). The same probably applies to other tools. I will start changing this when I find the time.
