Holistic modifier key plan

[Robert Leach]

With all the suggested uses of modifier keys in different contexts, we should map out a plan of what modifiers do in different contexts.

Been working on consolidating a modifier plan last week. Coming close to a holistic plan that is as consistent as I can manage. There are system-constraints at least with regard to macs (don't know about windows):

1. shift-scroll: horizontal scroll on macs is interpreted in java as shift-scroll
2. control-scroll is possibly reserved on macs as a screen-zoom function
3. Command-click: Used by macs to interact with "back" windows without bringing them to the fore.
4. control-arrow on macs controls mission control

Those are all the ones I can think of. These interfere with basic concepts such as "shift" being the modifier to speed things up (such as scrolling). So I have been trying to create alternate sets of modifiers for different usage contexts to work around the constraints.

Modifier cheat sheet:

The next step is to implement all the missing or non-compliant modifiers.

Once the modifiers are implemented, the plan and the cheat sheet should be incorporated into the documentation and/or accessible via the help menu.

I am going to add the plan and the cheat sheet to the repository to expose it to review.

Since a PR is up, do you wanna mark this issue as "resolved"?

[Robert Leach]

Resolved in a pull request.
