[Bf-committers] Improving Blender's keymap: a proposal

[Eugene Minov]

Hi!

By the way. I have one most used command I use in edit mode.
I wanted to propose to create a hot key by default for "Limit selection to
visible" button, that
lay right aside the (vert/edge/face) buttons.
Usually I bind it to "Q" key and I use that function very often
when I edit meshes, and I think other people do too.

Also +1 for all the principles! :)
