Anyway, from a technical/user standpoint:
- We are going to have to defer any concrete action on key mappings
until the 0.44 development cycle starts up.
- Now that we're so established, making significant changes to the key
mappings without configurability is a non-starter for the users.
- Someone (probably me... I have a design in mind now) is simply going
to have to write some code for customizable key mappings.
Well, I don't want to rain on choice, but I think we need to limit it. I think there should be an "Inkscape set" of keys/menus/toolbars and we should discourage using other configurations. I'm not saying it should impossible, but discouraged. The problem with allowing that much configuration is that all the tutorials and documentation for Inkscape become useless. In the end, it is harder for new users to have that configuration.
