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

[CG Cookie]

Since selecting bones in weight paint mode is a bit like a secondary action (with painting being the primary action), would it be obscene to change selection in this case to be CTRL + LMB? I realize that strays away from absolute consistency for selection, but I think it would be more strange and confusing to move paint to a different key/button.
