[Bf-funboard] Papers on interface usage ?

[zippy]

Thats a lot of stuff there, Perhaps another look at it and condense  
it a bit for now so one or two of the features can be analyzed  
further. Cause everyone has there own idea of what works and what  
does not,

As for Modos Zoom. It Is a zoom button. Where ever the Mouse is  
located pressing the zoom will zoom smoothly into that cursor, there  
by removing the need and confusion placement of the 3d cursor. Which  
leads to a far faster zoom in and out around the screen.
