[Bf-committers] 3D Cursor and Border Select

[Jonathan Williamson]

I think one of the key points in this whole discussion, that Daniel originally brought up, is how the 3D Cursor setting causes many problems for new users trying to learn Blender. Frankly, it doesn't really matter how the professionals want it because we have the keymaps, as others have said. Professionals will change the keys to their liking but new users won't; particularly those with no 3D experience.  

Whenever I'm teaching completely new users the 3D Cursor is one of the things they struggle with the most. They mostly struggle with it because they don't understand what it really is or what it is used for but they constantly, inadvertently moving it around and thus misplacing every object they add to the scene. Mike Pan and I saw this constantly during our recent workshop in India.
