However, if I can Zoom-in and Zoom-Out using PgUp and PgDn, I don't see the point of having those commands in a menu. I guess it's a matter of taste... >All these apps also had copy/cut/paste options under "Edit", not the >random bunch of things that couldn't be put somewhere else There is nothing to copy/cut/paste for now. It wouldn't apply to vector layers anyway and it's not currently possible to edit raster layers. I hope one day there will be raster editing tools similar to those in the GIMP for example. It may even be possible to add them via Python, since there are Python bindings for the GIMP (I think). >I couldn't find a 'Zoom to visible layers' option. Its quite useful.

I have found over time that what some people find useful may be useless for others... I've experienced that very fact a few times :) -- Mario B.
