[Qgis-developer] Shortcut changes in QGIS; call for opinions

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I think the confirmation messages are mainly from a time where there was
no undo possibility available. Assuming that the undo works properly I
am ok that the confirmation message is suppressed.

Alternatively we could ask for confirmation if there is more than one
feature deleted.

Regarding backspace and delete: ArcMap has an easy situation as it only
supports Windows where there is always a del-key. We have to support
multiple platforms. Some keyboards (e.g. Macintosh) do not provide a del
key - on those keyboards the del-key has to be emulated with
fn-backspace which is not very efficient and can't be triggered with one
hand.

+1 for the additional confirmation when removing one or more layers -
because there is no undo for that! If there were an undo I would not mind.

Thank you for bringing up this issues - wonder what the other users
think - esp. the OSX users.

Andreas
