[Bf-committers] CTRL-X functionality

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Matt,

As for all code without an appointed maintainer it goes via my desk.   
Also, it's a UI topic, still one of the areas I'm involved with. And  
you too, so if you think there's a really good solution I am curious to  
know it.

I hope people realize that this is really a keyboard mapping issue.  
(Mac keyboard allows apple+z for undo for example), and non-english  
keyboards have different layouts too. Changing hotkeys will only move  
problems to other areas.

Exploring saving the restore backup .blend in tmp is ofcourse OK.

BTW: enable autosave. In that case you only lose a couple of minutes of  
work on accidents.

Decisions are made by the people who are maintaining parts of code.  
They are supposed to read this mailing list and further use whatever  
they like. Forums, wiki, email, funboard list, irc...
