[Bf-taskforce25] Keyboard Shortcuts Proposal

[JimmyVolatile]

Hi again. Maybe a little OT again but here are two context-sensitive
suggestion regarding shortcuts:
1.* Use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V also for copying/pasting panels contents, *the
same way the "Copy to buffer" buttons work today. This applies to materials,
textures, IPOs and possibly many other types of panels where the function is
not used today.
To operate this, the user would just need to point at the materials button
panel, hit Ctrl+C, then select another object and press Ctrl+V (since we
already know what type of data is copied, it is not necessary to explicitly
select the correct button panel) and the data will be pasted into the panel
in just the same way as if you would have used the normal copy/paste buttons
on the panel.
2. *Similarly, with IPOs, *the user could select one object, select 2 of the
curves from the object (LocX, LocY) select another object and immediately
press Ctrl+V (or Ctrl+Shift+V for the sake of argument) to paste the curves
on to the same channels (LocX, LocY) in the new object.
Now, the user can still paste the curves in exactly the same way as today,
by first manually selecting the target channels. So, both options can easily
co-exist.
With regs,
Jimmy Volatile.
