[Bf-committers] Regarding the current usage of proportional edit

[Sean Olson]

The upcoming pie menu's should make the 3 way switch pretty easy.  The
piemenus addon in contrib already has functionality for proportional
editing on the 'o' key.

The best place for suggestions like this is probably the bf-funboard
("Functionality Board") mailing list.
