Re: gnome guidelines and keybindings [Fwd: more keybindings]

I use Ctrl+A for "View/Show All" all the time.  Many graphics applications use the same short cut, regardless 
of what the Gnome or Windows interface guidelines say.  "Select All" is an uncommon operation in Dia and 
similar applications.  I think this is a case of "rules are made to be broken."

If you do take Ctrl+A away, you'd better given me an equally efficient and logical short cut for "View All".
