[GRASS-user] v.digit - new wiki page for migrators

[Jan Hartmann]

A question from a very old GRASS-hand (I have used it since we got 
Internet in Amsterdam in 1991, having downloaded and compiled it, with 
the complete X-Window system, from a 9600-baud telephone line. Had even 
to compile the gcc-compiler, since native AIX cc didn't like GRASS):

In the old, pre-6 v.digit, all commands were given by keyboard 
shortcuts. That took some exercise, but once you had it in your fingers 
(literally), you could digitize much faster than with the present 
click-button interface. I would guess it isn't all too difficult to add 
the old keyboard shortcuts to the system. Any idea from the developers 
whether this could be done? I still have GRASS 5.7 running for 
digitizing only. Beats every other package.
