HeLLo EvEryBoDy,

Well the upper and lowercases are in purpose :)

It happened to me to be not aware of being on uppercase and hit "S" instead of "s" and didn't realise it.

Normally it's not a probleme if you don't have any crash in the mean time. Otherwise it depends on how often you save :)

Is it an issue if we can use "s" regardless upper or lower case ?

If it is nevermind.

Otherwise, maybe putting a warning or something like "Did you mean "s" or anything else could be usefull.

Haldun.

Georgy, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for stating what we should not be "doing something because that is what everyone else does".  Because if we all did everything the same then we would all be driving Volkswagens instead of driving what makes the most sense for us.  We are only looking into the possibility of providing a workaround for mostly new users as it is already such a large learning curve to use Cinelerra.

I would say, it is quite usual for a complex professional program (not some
kind of Office or web browser which uses everybody, but a program which
performs some rather particular task) - to have its own set of shortcuts.
Such a set of shortcuts may be chosen not from the reasons of similarity to
that of MS-Office or whatever, but from the reasons of conveniency and
effectiveness of working with **this particular program**!

For example, I have to use a program CCPNMR, to do a very complex process of
NMR signals assignment in big organic molecules. The shortcut for 'Save' in
this program is not 's', and not 'Ctrl-s', but surprisingly 'Shift-S'!

To me, what for one must press two keys, Ctrl and 's', or Ctrl and 'z', if
it is possible to press a single key 's' or 'z'? OK, it is not acceptable
for a text processor, where 's' and 'z' means insert the corresponding
letter, but why not for a video or photo editor where one does not input
letters?

I'd say, a possibility to configure different sets of shortcuts could look
beautiful, but definition of shortculs most similar to that used in office
software should not be a goal of highest priority...
