well⦠supposedly a revamp of the shorcuts mechanism will happen sometime during 6.0 development (if I find the time to work on it, or someone jumps in, of course :P) the idea with this is to centralise actions (using command pattern) and then users just declare what they will be using⦠then *all tools* in system with same shortcuts will share actions. external packages should also have the possibility of install their actions⦠this can create collisions, but well⦠(btw, same âuser install/declareâ idea should be taken for icons and others, as a way to avoid the stupid coupling of packages we have now) Esteban

Hi ben
I never liked the double keys, but when they got introduced by camillo and ben the goal was to be able to fully
navigate wihout having to touch the mouse. So from this goal point of view it was a nice attempt.
Now we should be able
to let user decide
to have the same double keys in the other pane to avoid to create a mode.

I happened to be back using a Squeak image to run the VM simulator and wanted to report my experience that it was a *joy* to again be able to use <ctrl-x> to delete methods from the System Browser. Over the past
12 months rather than complain about the double-key shortcuts, I've given myself time to adapt - but in practice I've adapted by always using the context menu rather than the double key shortcut. I don't understand the advantage of the double-key shortcuts here and why the same <ctrl-x> shortcut can't work in each of the four System Browser panes, since the "context" is provided by which pane is selected.
I do recognise the value of double-keys for global shortcuts, since you need the first to select the tool to provide context for the second key.
It would be nice to get some UX stastics for the System Browser about the predominance of shortcut versus menu usage for different people.
