used shortcut key is not very accurate and not ergonomic. In EEschema no layers,
so early these keys will always be free and are most handy. Enforcing
standardization I think is going too far in this case.
As already worth more in Pcbnew N/Shift+N to change to something more
meaningful, as long as there is no stable release yet, and that there wasn't in
previous stable one. PgUp/PgDown would fit best to change the layers, +/- to
change the grid and Home/End to Cu.F/Cu.B. Path wide is easy to handle by „/”
and „*” on numeric keypad.
Single key to frequently used shorcuts. It might be pooling in circa about month
for users, which keys are the most prefered.
Is anybody often use Home/End to manipulate View port?
