I personally don't mind multiple key presses, and I'm pretty sure
CakeTalking does this, for example. I also find function keys annoying,
e.g. in GoldWave. They're a stretch for me to reach from the home row,
so I just have to treat them as a separate row, and I usually end up
counting and such. So I'm in favor of Jamie's keymap.
Could we have a keymap import function, or some simple way to replace
it? I mean, if we're just overwriting files, I don't see why Jamie can't
have whatever keymap makes sense to him as a default. Then somebody else
can maintain a map with function keys and such, similar to Reaccess I
guess. If you want that, if it's such a problem for you that you can't
use function keys, I'm guessing you'll know enough, or easily be able to
learn, to overwrite the default Osara keymap. It sounds like all you
should need to do is copy and paste a single file anyway, so it really
shouldn't be that hard.
But for what it's worth, I'd prefer non-function key mappings. I don't
think pressing ctrl-shift-m, for instance, is all that much harder than
pressing 'm' by itself, and certainly easier, for me at least, than
figuring out what function key I need to try to find. I'd also think if
people are that much in need of single keys, again, you could either
import a map, remap them yourself, or get a control surface. I realize
surfaces aren't cheap, even the Behringer is a couple hundred, but I
imagine if you're arguing that you're doing so much serious work that
ctrl-shift-m slows you down unnecessarily, you'd probably want some kind
of surface anyway.
