If I may - these are the types of things that users expect intuitively in 
windowed apps[1], and are good (IMO) for all development (not just the 
Terracer plugin). Anything to reduce the number of times you have to move a 
hand back and forth from the keyboard to the mouse improves usability for 
high-volume mappers, and therefore overall map size/quality.

If I ever get through my backlog of photos/surveys, I want to become 
familiar with the development environment and tackle some of it myself.


[1]Especially Windows, where such things are part of the UI coding guidelines.
