Hmm, I used to like it quite a lot. IMHO this was one of the cutest mnemonics ... ;-)
It did indeed match well with it's tool!
How about the percent sign '%'? It looks a bit like a line with two nodes to which it can snap. Well, just a thought...
Yep, that's also a good one! I will use that instead and give you your star tool back ;-)
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.
I agree too. Why do we have both function keys and characters connected to the tools at all? Probably most users don't know about the characters, as these are not mentioned in the tooltip. If we could free the function keys, then this would give us some more freedom in assigning them to other functions. F1 for help, F2 for editing/renaming (maybe keep the frequently used F8 also for this as people are used to this, ), etc. We will easily find use for all of them. Or are these merely Windows conventions? Plus, next time we introduce a new tool it won't mess up the ordering of the function keys.
