usually when it comes to graphic design work (i’m an open source graphic designer and mayhaps even programmer but) i use inkscape of course, and gimp totally. i’ve gotten very good and learned so many stuff, but something i enjoy about inkscape and gimp is the fact that they still use ctrl-z for undoing and ctrl-y for doing again!!! that’s classic and very linux-like and is pretty much the software saying “we will NOT accommodate our keyboard shortcuts to make our software feel LIKE adobe products”, because adobe and all proprietary graphic design software uses ctrl-z and ctrl-shit-z for undoing and doing, but linux prevails and keeps ctrl-y.
when i was drawing a bit of stuff in krita, i found out that the shortcut for undoing was ctrl-shift-z, i know why this was made, because they want to accommodate the adobe people, the ones that like windows and proprietary software, they want to appeal to proprietary companies, that shortcut showed me that. and that is why i feel like krita is trying to be an open source software dressed as a proprietary software.
it’s like when that american german spy asked for 3 glasses of liquid but held his fingers in the “not german” way.
Yank is Copy, you heathen!
Only in inferior software it is Paste.
(for the uninitiated: it’s Copy in vim and Paste in emacs; also if it wasn’t clear, I’m just joking)
But then it’s not Ctrl+y, so we both agree that Ctrl+y is not redo. For you it’s U to undo and Ctrl+r for redo, for me it is all C+_ with a history of modifications. But in all truth I’m a heathen as well since I’ve partially converted to vi for most small text edition because of pinky strain, I was just referencing terminal shortcuts which are based on GNU standard, so Ctrl+y is paste in most terminals.
