MF> IMO, it should never have been changed from Ctrl+Y but that's only my MF> opinion :) There are good arguments on both sides. Ctrl+Y is what many Fido users (including WP-users) are used to and I actually think its more ergonomic for everday use because of the keyboard layout. However, it is also the standard for redo on windows and even I keep confusing it with redo. So overall, I think the platform consistency is the stronger point because it is easier to get Ctrl-L fpr delete line right then using a different redo in just one application. Delphi itself uses the same Ctrl+Y default (as it is using the same editor control) and it drives me nuts at time when I try to redo some changes. So cleartly, there is a lot of value in keeping these shortcuts consistent across applications on the same platform to help user switching between applications without rebooting the brain.
