I wish gschem had the same shortcuts as pcb, instead of the random
double-keys it has now ;-) Note: The Lesstif HID *does* suppose
double-key shortcuts, if you want to make a custom UI that matches
gschem.  Use syntax in ~/.pcb/pcb-menu.res like this:

 {"1 mil" ... an={"G1" "<Keys>g1"}}

But gschem and pcb have completely different toolsets and common
tasks.  It would be difficult to make them "the same" outside of the
usual common key mappings (cut, paste, undo).

PCB's mappings are also designed for the kbd/mouse dichotomy though.
My right hand pretty much stays on the mouse all during layout.
