Description:
One thing I am sure of is we need an extention point for our top five tools:
- Zoom - zoom box, zoom rectangle (traditional)
- Selection - select rectangle, select feature, magic wand.
- Info - what is this, query, etc...
One thing that troubles me is that Tools *need* a keyboard shortcut, but we have an open ended system allowing people to add tools into the framework. The above suggestions takes some of the scalability bite out of the problem. Just the 5 catagories need a Key binding, Holding SHFT-Key advanved tool in a category, Holding Control-Key could bring up the menu where the tool can be chosen from the list.
Example:
z - selects the "Zoom" tool
Z - selects the next Zoom tool.
control-z - lets the user choose the Zoom tool with the arrow keys.
("z" would be localized)
When UDIG is bundled up for a specific application a developer has the option of only including one Zoom tool. Indeed if selection is not needed for their application they can leave it out entirely.
