+1 for edit menu and cheatsheet ^^

I agree.  This is VERY useful and I never would have stumbled across it
since I assumed (incorrectly) that all of the keyboard shortcuts are listed
in the "Edit" drop-down menu in the editor.

Adding these to the Edit drop-down menu would be nice.

I also agree that a second Cheat Sheet page with a concise list of all of
the keyboard shortcuts would be quite useful.

Good point(s), but I see the Cheat Sheet as my one stop for reminders
about OpenSCAD, not just about the GUI.  Perhaps the Cheat Sheet could
then link to this new GUI Cheat Sheet.

Or the GUI stuff could be integrated onto a second page? Folks could
switch back and forth as needed then, and if need be print both sides
separately.

This sounds like the best idea.  With my slowly fading eyesight from
macular degeneration, the cheat sheet is blown up to about a screen & a
half high, so a second page at a top click would be quite helpful.

Apologies Jordan, I just realised I had forgotten to thank you for
your offer of trying to find time for the modification to
the customisercode. I'm certain the more visually challenged of us
will really appreciate the work you will do on it.

I've made some progress on that.  We'll see.  It's been an ...
introduction ... to the ... intricacies ... of Qt programming.

You can thank me when the change gets merged :-)

Three cheat sheets:  language, GUI, CLI.

And as Python comes on line, there would be a fourth for the Python API.

I'll see if I can spend some time on that.  No promises - prying time
free is tough - but since it's not a language change it shouldn't have
the slow going that most of my work does.

The change just got merged.  It's in the "Advanced" preferences pane and
should show up in the daily builds in a day or two.

We might eventually move to preferring the OS font size settings, but
this will work for now.
