I used them exclusively to > control the zoom level, and find it quite convenient. I never do anything but this. If I was being evil, I'd drop the zoom tool altogether, but that is not good. It is good to have it there for new users, but I strongly believe that most people never use it - the keys are _way_ more convenient. This applies to a LOT of other things in gimp also. I have defined myself 3 additional shortcuts that I use all the time: 1) Alt-R -> image -> RGB 2) Alt-G -> image -> GRAY 3) Alt-I -> image -> Indexed I dont know if they clash with any existing ones, but doing your private handy shortcuts is very good feature in gimp. Much better than tear-off menus (which are sometimes handy too). I strongly suggest people to learn to use them :) </rant> > It would be even better if the zoom also panned to center the zoom > around the location the mouse cursor is over then the key is pressed. > I'm not sure how to go about plumbing that in, though. Yep, it probably would be nice. But I dont know how hard it would be to implement.
