[Bf-taskforce25] Keyboard Shortcuts Proposal

[Pablo Vazquez - www.venomgfx.com.ar]

I second Jason, it will be configurable so not big deal for us old
users (could be a bit messy when teaching though), but it would be sad
to see all the new users not know about / take advantage from all the
benefits of right-click selection, specially in sake of their carpal
tunnel's!
