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

[CG Cookie]

Pitching in on the sub-modes discussion; I feel submodes should be exactly that. They should not be listed in the normal Modes menu with Object/Edit/Weight/etc or else that menu will become too large. I think using 1/2/3 within Edit Mode, and other modes makes the most sense. It's very easy to reach with the left hand and it is not tied to anything else unless using emulate numpad while in Edit Mode.
