not against personal keymaping

I almost always 'saveAs' from the menu anyway--since I have to type in a new name, it's never just a quick keycommand like saving is....

And if we want to respect the [ctrl] for wkp and [ctrl-alt] for patches it means that 'save as' will be:
[ctrl+shift+s] for wkp and [ctrl+shift+alt+s] for patches...tricky because we need 2 hands...
The ideal solution doesn't exist?

ctrl for wkp
ctrl+alt for patches
I think it's quite comfortable like that. the only big conflict is with the ctrl+A (save as). but I can't find a better candidate...

You're right, Wodslanding, shortcuts are somewhat confusing (and keystroke+clicks too).
When you patch modular stuffs in Usine, then in Reaktor, then back in Usine, then... you just turn crazy!
I would also add the very popular ctrl+C, ctrl+X and Ctrl+V (copy, cut, paste) that don't work the same way in parameters textfiels, in patches textfields (typically the patch name), in the patching window (or sequencer) and so on.
I've already seen ctrl+L for Select All, in some cheap softs, but Usine is NOT a cheap soft!!!!
I think that Olivier is right: it's great time now to nomalize that according to the softs-world usage.
Maybe a customizable table, why not, but what is really important for ergonomy is to have first the right usual shortcut keys (ctrl-F9 for compilation is the right one, for example).
That's an old question now.
Certainly not so easy to perfectly implement everywhere in the gui...

the 'timeout' on popup texfields. I realize I shouldn't leave the refrigerator door open while I'm deciding what to eat.... but--I do!
the need to double-click on list boxes to select an item. this one I got used to pretty quickly, but it confused me a LOT when I was first starting out.

Other small things:
I also am having problems wanting to put tabs in the script window... and I'm used to dragging to select multiple objects. I really like the way usine moves the frame of view, but I would put that under a ctl-key if I had a choice, just for consistency with other programs.
not the #1 issue, but.... I do think these kinds of conventions are important to keep in mind.
cheers!

I'm used to ctl-shift-s for saveAs and ctl-A for select all. All the software I use follows this convention, and especially working on scripts and going back and forth from a text editor, it drives me crazy!
thanks for listening!
