[GRASS5] [bug #3243] (grass) v.digit: when zooming it exits digitizing session

[guest user via RT]

Stefano is right. This is badly annoying. It is not about a "single click"
like Hamish supposed. Actually it takes following steps:

1. draw the line
2. right click to stop prior to zooming
3. fill in the database form
4. click "Pan"
5. do panning
6. click "Digitize new line"
7. goto 1 until done

Steps 2,3,6 are redundant. This means that digitizing takes about *twice* that
much time as it should. Not mentioning that a standard in commercial
digitizing software is that Pan, Zoom etc. are mapped in keyboard to speed up
the digitizing further. It would be extremly usefull to have it in v.digit if
it is to be competitive.

So far due to this issue and bugs:

v.digit is virtually useless for serious usage.

Qgis's v.digit plugin is better - the bugs do not apply. But anyway the
unability to digitize continously and fast is a serious disadvantage. Radim
doesn't know how to fix it yet:

This a serious issue - neither Grass nor Qsis provide a convenient digitizing
tool - one of the basic GIS and desktop maping elements. It would be great if
somebody skillful could take a look at it.
