Generally only very few keyboard keys are necessary for a schematics
editor, for my Peted I have currently DELETE, ESC, 'm' and 'e' for move
or edit. I think I will not need much more, and even these are not
really necessary, I have a context sensitive menu since some weeks.
Recently I added in place editing, as proposed by me one year ago: Have
an text entry, which becomes active when you hover over an text element
ant press 'e' or do a double mouse click. The text object shows an
insert mark and reacts on each entered character, and when user hits
RETURN entry widgets becomes deactivated. A few lines of code, works
fine and is fun.
