Marc, I shouldn't argue with you but I have to disagree with you here. The GIMP 1.2 behaviour was a major pain in the ass. Behaviour of keybindings was dependant on the window that has the focus. I don't know if this has ever been a problem to you but have you ever seen a new GIMP user struggling with this? Keybindings are vital in an application like GIMP. If Ctrl-Z for Undo doesn't work in the Layers dialog because it's only bound to the image window, then you end up moving focus between windows only to make keybindings work. This is how GIMP 1.2 worked. For a newbie it takes a long time to get used to this behaviour. Sorry, but 1.2 didn't clearly work better. With GIMP 2.2 you can finally concentrate on your work instead of tracking what window your keypress might go to and what action it will cause there. > I don't understand you.

There's a new thread I opened to discuss file-chooser performance and I realized that we should have more pre-defined shortcuts in the Layers dialog. So I added shortcuts for New Layer and Duplicate Layer actions last night. Sven
