- Sorry for not being clear. I meant for these shortcuts to double the U/W
- ones. The U/W keys are well established standard in Germany and there's no
- way all these programs will change. I think this is a good compromise.

- Any suggestion?

-
- This will have to go for a separate vote. I don't think redrawing requires
- a shortcut per app. The OS should supply this feature. Mag!X does.

- I think this is reasonable and I hope other programmers feel the same way.
- It would be very important for LEF to change as well to follow this
- method.

- This is a problem. I recommend we discuss this in the future. Programs
