Again, they could certainly pick a *different* set of accelerators than Photoshop (and, while I didn't bother to compare, I imagine they did.) But until this revamp (which, I will reiterate, took them *almost three decades* to figure out,) they exhibited a fundamentally bone-headed mis- understanding of how keyboard accelerators are supposed to work in the first place. That's *not* a mistake Adobe made (or if they did, it'd been fixed by v.7, which was - *checks watch* - twenty-five years ago.) > Not sure what you’re complaining about there. GIMP still offers the > choice of multi-window mode, if that’s what you prefer. I don't prefer, actually! My beef with single-window mode is not that multi-window mode is better (maybe you like it better, maybe you don't, that's fine and it's good that they provide the option to switch) - it's that single-window mode is a *less useful* response to Photoshop's MDI interface. There is, AFAICT, still no way to view documents side-by- side in SWM, despite GIMP's own internal dev wiki admitting that this is a real need: "But then in every discussion the concrete need for working side-by-side comes up. [...] Let’s not kid ourselves: the fact that users can work on several files inside a single application window, means that this application must offer a substitute for window management..." - https://gui.gimp.org/index.php?title=Single-window_mode_specification
