Re: [Traverso-devel] Key shorcuts re-evaluated

Yep :)

After using the system for a bit I quickly found out there was more work to 
do, the context menu (right mouse button) no longer worked properly, so I fixed 
that today, it now even supports hold type shortcuts from the menu like Gain 
(G key) or Move (D key).
To finish the editing for such 'shortcuts' from the menu, you'll have to press 
the enter key, or Esc to reject as usual.

This way of editing was actually quite pleasant, there was no longer a need to 
keep a key pressed, so I merged that into the shortcuts system, so now you can 
press a key like G or D, and with the arrow keys or mouse change the gain 
value or move an object around, and finish the editing by hitting enter.
The obvious downside is that to finish a 'hold shortcut' you always have to hit 
enter, instead of only releasing the 'hold shortcut' key.
The upside: no more acrobatics needed to press additional keys for the edit 
action, or the esc key.

Of course user configurable, see the keyboard section in the preferences 
dialog.

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, you'd better checkout git :)

Cheers, Remon
