[Bf-committers] CTRL-X functionality

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Joe,

I didn't know CTRL+X was broken, so what is there to fix, the accident  
someone uses ctrl+x and didn't save?

In my opinion you save work, or you load work, or you quit blender.  
Assuming the user makes accidents bt default is dumbing and slowing  
down UIs.

----> Solve the problems where the problems are, not by adding user  
options.

For example; just save a quit.blend for ctrl+x? There might be more of  
such solutions to prevent the extremely unlikely accident with ctrl+x.

My personal observation: I never (NEVER) in my 12 years of blender  
usage/testing had a Qkey accident, but already got several accidents  
with pressing CTRL+W accidentally. So, probably whatever default you  
pick, it always wrong... we then better move as quick as possible to  
allowing users to tweak keymaps based on own habits.
