Comment 1 for bug 699638

Right now we are starting an awkward transition phase (from C to C++) and a few key developers are busy or otherwise out of commission. Hopefully we will see progress again by the end of the year.

1. Agreed. When code starts flowing again, a first priority is to clean up the Gtk interface. This includes fixing accelerators, adding tooltips and adding customizability to the UI.

2. We don't want to fix the route styles to 4, so it probably won't make sense to have specific accelerators for each one. But yes, there should be "next" and "previous" accelerators.

3. This should be dealt with during the UI cleanup. The current keyboard shortcuts have been hanging around for a few decades, but I don't think there will be too much opposition to making them sane.

4. GUI cleanup.

5. GUI cleanup. (However, I doubt the usefulness of this feature. You will likely need to argue it on the list if you want this.)

6. The DRC checker needs a major revamp. The current rules have known flaws, they're inflexible, they're hard to customize and hard to understand. But this is very big and scary job, so don't hold your breath.
