Re: [Inkscape-devel] NEW: Lots of stuff

2008/9/25 Ted Gould :

 * Created what I'm calling "Quick Zoom."  The idea here is to have
   a modal zoom for touching up something with fine detail and then
   returning to what you're doing.  This is activated with the
   letter "Q" on the keyboard.  When you release it, you return
   back to where you were.  This will zoom in on selected objects,
   or if you're in the node tool selected nodes.

So I gave this feature quite a lot of testing and my impressions are:

1. It is useful indeed to be able to zoom into/out of selection with just one key. 2. It is really not comfortable to have to keep one finger on Q all the time while doing tweaks of all kinds (especially those requiring hotkeys).

Thus my vote is to keep this feature, but make it a combination of "zoom to selection" and "previous zoom", so that second pressing of Q brings you back.
