Hi all,

I've finished removing keyboard input handling code duplication among 
lesstif and gtk in pcb-rnd. As a side effect this enabled the gtk HID to 
use multikey hotkeys (similar to those in gschem).

I plan to ship at least two versions of menu files: the current one 
(modifiers) and a new one (that uses multikey heavily).

I'm looking for volunteers to design the multikey layout (either changing 
the menu layout to fit multikey better or keeping it as is).

Complexity: no programming background required; some experience with pcb 
and gschem is certainly needed (if you ever made a board that should be 
enough). There are 120 (lesstif) and 123 (gtk) key bindings with most of 
the functions overlap and some duplications (total 117 unique actions 
that has binding in either HID). My estimation on the total amount of work 
is between 4 and 9 hours, depending on some design choices.

If you would like to join the fun, please contact me using email or chat 
at http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/irc.html

Regards,

Igor2
