Bug Description

• IMPROVEMENT REQUEST: It would be nice to have the option of a keystroke generating the Equatorial Grid’s J2000 RA/DE lines of display, instead of ‘E’ always generating the RA/DE lines of the date in question. Use of F4 -> Markings selection of Equatorial J2000 Grid works fine, but inadvertent use of the ‘E’ keypress paints an adjacent grid, which is confusing! Since users are unlikely to use both, there should be a selection option for what the ‘E’ key usage actually maps to. While on the subject, it may also be nice to have a B1950 Grid option, so that all the numbers in Burnham's Celestial Handbook can be readily used!

For first part: you can freely edit keyboard shortcuts for grids - just press F7 and assign it.

Absolutely Brilliant!! And my sincere apologies for having missed that enhancement in 12.0 .. That is all I need. I picked up on a lot of new things, but missed that one item. Case closed.

I suppose the option to keep the Burnham Legacy B1950 numbers relevant can be on the wish-list.

Thanks again,
Ramaswamy
