Do you use the lesstif HID? (select one) c. sometimes, rarely The main reason I'm not using the lesstif HID is that the library window doesn't perform well with a hierarchical directory layout, and that layer grouping is somewhat cumbersome. Also, it would help if I could run the lesstif HID by specifying a command-line option without having to recompile PCB. In principle, I'd rather use the lesstif HID (it is more responsive and has a nicer look on my machine), but I don't care enough to fix these things myself. > 2. If there were different menu resources files distributed with PCB, > would you try them? (select one) a. yes, I'd give each variant a try before deciding which one to use It would be nice to be able to switch gschem and PCB keyboard mappings between: - as before - gschem hotkeys for PCB, too - Emacs-style hotkeys - Windows-style hotkeys > 3. Do you customize your menu resource file? (select one) c. never, I know where I'd perform the changes if I ever needed them but defalts are good enough for now I don't use PCB frequently enough to really have cared about that yet. Also, since many PCB menus are lists and I don't like hotkeys like C-S-7, I use tear-off menus more often than hotkeys. > 5. Do you miss multi-key sequences from the GTK hid? (select one) a. yes, I'd prefer to use them over modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift) I'd like to be able to configure the same hotkeys as in gschem. Also, I generally prefer “serial” to “parallel” hotkeys because they require less finger acrobatics. It's just more ergonomic for me to type "f s" than to hold down the control key while typing "s". The difference isn't large, but it's large enough for me to really miss this feature in some applications I regularly use. --8323329-399491788-1459886639=:1372--
