[josm-dev] Crtl-O used twice

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

> PS: Ideas for the shortcut manager (additions welcome):

Do check if there's something out there already that we could use. I 
have a hunch that we are not the only ones with a problem here.

I don't think this is a classification that comes naturally to programmers.

This has a lot of potential for trouble. We'll at least have to 
investigate the order in which plugins are loaded to avoid two almost 
identical configurations using different shortcuts because one loads 
plugin A first and the other, B.

I'd love to have manual configuration for the modifier keys in drawing 
mode as well.

Please, no platform-specific code if it can be avoided. Maybe we're 
lucky and can find a library that does it for us. (Then again, 
Java/Swing was supposed to make everyone feel at home, and it seems it 
didn't work.)

Bye
