Maybe not two pairs of keys. It would make the most sense to me to have one pair of keys like g/Shift+g or '[' and ']' to increment or decrement grid within the current grid system of units (metric or Imperial), and another single key to toggle between the systems of units. To me that is actually better than two pairs of increment/decrement keys since you can just back to whatever mils grid you were using from a mm grid, and back. Just my opinion. Also, I like key shortcuts I can hit with my left hand only without removing right hand from mouse. (on my qwerty keyboard -- I have dvorak but rarely use it anymore... largely in part to difficulty handling one-hand key shortcuts like Ctrl+x, Ctrl+c, Ctrl+w, etc.). Regards, Colin
