Fine, I know about the order and the verbs, so I can not understand why there seems to be a blind reasoning about shortcuts: not every app requires the same functions nor the same usage pattern, so settings lots of shortcuts that only seem to match text editors and browser seems unreasonable. Gimp has collisions with other keys, you just changed one, but there are more, if you want to comply, your work is half done... and I will change back in my own config to make things nice for a Gimp user instead than for a HIG writer. HIG is not set in stone, and even then, it can be wrong. GSR
