Thanks for the detailed report and suggestions. Just a few remarks here, I've numbered the points:

1) Yes, Shift+Click now only works if there is already a selection. This will be extended in the way you suggest.

2-4) There are still some problems with play selection, we'll try to improve. I wasn't able to reproduce all the described phenomena; in general things should work (and mostly do) as you described.

5) It is now possible to change the shortcuts to ones liking (Edit->Preferences->Edit Shortcuts). I would hesitate overloading the Escape key too much; it is e.g. used to cancel the text edit box. Setting the Escape key for clearing the selection can result in the selection being cleared when canceling the edit box (can be system dependent).

6) Changing the Alt+Down and Alt+Up behavior makes sense to me, will look into that.

7-8) The MacOS itself uses most of the symbols like Return etc in several preference panels. Maybe it would be good to have two "modes" for the keyboard shortcut labels, symbols or text.

9)Fixed.

-Han
