Re: Patch for Delete key behavior (for dia-0.96.1)

["Michael Ross" <michael e ross gmail com>]

I just loaded up .96-7 and it is not doing GUI stufff well at all.

I see that a lot of the shortcuts are now listed as Shift+Control+Whatever  very few actually work, it would be easier to list the few that do work.  An odd selection of the old combinations work, I didn't do a comprehensive study.

Because that is not a practical one handed shortcut, I will not likely use it and be forced to operate with a mouse (hard on the ulnar nerve).  About the only practical three key combination for my left hand is Shift+Control+Whatever.  I can reach about to Shift+Control+B and that is all.

I am really going to need how to tweak the menu system myself the way new releases of Dia are headed.  Can someone direct me to where in the code is the Shift+Alt+Etc business?

I tried looking in the menurc and editing that, but I like Ondrej could not get anything to work (that was in .94).  There must be more to it.  Also there were no entries at all ion menurc with the word "
<Actions>/display-actions/" as in:

Change:
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/display-actions/EditDelete" "Delete")

To:
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/display-actions/EditDelete" "<Control>Delete")

Should I be adding them?

If not in menurc then where would those be?

And am I supposed to use the ; or not?

Thanks,

Mike
