blender-like navigation in inkscape
Hi list,
Lately I gave blender a try and was really impressed by its GUI. Blender is known to be hard for beginners, but I believe advanced users can be really productive there. I especially like the three shorcuts: g (grab/move) s (scale) r (rotate)
They all work for an active object. Take the rotate operation - it is faster than inkscape's: 1) double click the object 2) select the rotation handle
I wonder if it would be possible to create a blender-like, alternative shortcut-theme.
This is not a complain against inkscape's GUI - it is great and I can be productive with it, but won't you agree blender's GUI would be faster for advanced users?
regards, Karol

Probably.
search for the file keys/default.xml and try modifying it yourself
maybe if you get something started others will help you finish it. there may also need to be more actions added to inkscape to support keybindings for certain things but once you have the basics done then developers are more likely to consider your requests (at least I hope so since I am waiting on several actions for Zoom and Text features for the macromedia freehand keybinding set).
