Some of the above new additions access macros for which I have assigned keyboard shortcuts. For the most part, these are simple macros I have written who's functions should be fairly obvious based upon thier title. I never assigned a replacement key for
Scale, as I never use it;
Shift+s is available. I have the above as an html document; if anyone wants a copy I can PM it or make it available on my web site.
