RE: Inkscape minor changes I'd like before the next release (if acceptable)
No. Arrows are for moving. Rotation is different and needs different
keys.
How about using Ctrl+R for rotation through 90 degrees? (I use that a whole lot more often than the small rotations anyway).
Why ctrl-] is any worse? And if you decide you want to rotate it back, you only need to press ctrl-[. Whereas with ctrl-r, you'd have to do ctrl-r three more times :)
Ctrl+R is currently used by Show Rulers and only becuase I cannot think of anything better I'd suggest using Ctrl+Shift+R for Show Rulers because at least then it would be the same as the GIMP.
And ctrl-r in Gimp is what?
Because I may want to pan regardless of any selection, of course!
You might want to, you dont sound all that certain.
Really, I pan with ctrl-arrows ALL THE TIME. When the doc is just loaded and there's no selection. When I have a selection and want to better center it. And in a million of other cases :)
I've just noticed that the Up and Down Arrow Keys currently Zoom in and Out (when used without any modifier keys) and I would have expected them to be available for Panning when nothing was selected.
They're not supposed to, it's a bug which I will fix shortly. It does not affect selector and node tool.
I'd think that Up and Down would be best not used for Zooming.
Sure.
For Zooming it would be better to just have Zoom In + (and also =) as well as Ctrl++ (and Ctrl+=)
Sorry, ctrl++ is already "union". It's easy to remember that ctrl with four math operators means four boolean functions.
Zoom Out - as well as Ctrl+-
Ctrl+- is "subtract"
(the use of both + and = is to avoid the nasty differences between QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards) and with Zoom having this generous selection of shorcuts
Yes.

I just noticed that it was there in Object menu without any shortcut and was suggesting it in addition to the shortcuts for incremenatl rotation.

Redo was Ctrl+R, although i think they have changed it to Ctrl+Y (that was a long discussion and I forget how it ended because I lost interest when they made it clear they had no intention of using Ctrl+Shift+Z as the Gnome HIG suggests).

I guess that makes sense, just a shame that it wont be consistant with the rest of Gnome. Hrrm we could have Ctrl+U for Union ... (half kidding, I'll leave well enough alone with this one).
Goodnight
