[RkWard-devel] Shortcuts for Open / Save Workspace / Script

Hi,

in private mail, Stefan has reminded me of an old problem:
The shortcuts for Open Workspace and Open R Script File are both Ctrl+O. The 
shortcuts for Save Workspace and Save File (in the context of a script 
editor) are both Ctrl+S. This is pretty benign until the user tries to save 
the workspace using Ctrl+S while a script editor is currently the active 
window - at which point it may be fairly dangerous, as the script file will 
be saved, but not the workspace.

Stefan proposed to change the shortcuts for open/save script file to 
Ctrl+Shift+O/S. I think this is a reasonable suggestion, and I'd like to do 
it for 0.4.5, so we can bundle a number of UI changes in one. However, I'd 
like to do a quick survey on which shortcuts to change, so, if you care at 
all, state your preference until Saturday:

1) Leave the shortcuts for open/save workspace as Ctrl+O / Ctrl+S, but change 
the shortcuts for open/save script file to Ctrl+Shift+O/Ctrl+Shift+S.

2) Leave the shortcuts for open/save script file as Ctrl+O / Ctrl+S, but 
change the shortcuts for open/save workspace to Ctrl+Shift+O/Ctrl+Shift+S.

3) Some other alternative (please specify).

Reply either to this list, or to me directly, whichever you prefer.

Regards
Thomas
