This makes a lot of sense. I'd really like to see more of the  
traditional Ctrl-based accelerators implemented - especially for the  
more common file & edit menu operations. Two key accelerators for  
operations unique to schematic editing are fine though.

Getting rid of the 'f s' sequence in gschem (or at least providing an  
alternative) would go a long way toward alleviating some of my mis- 
keys. The number of times I've turned my PCB layouts green as a result  
of using the gschem file save sequence in pcb...
