Maybe a different key instead of control. Also, I don’t think their are any control combinations that would cause something bad (besides control P, which is actually print, not paste.)

How about using Alt instead because Alt isn't commonly used in computer hotkeys or shortcuts.

I'd rather stick with what we've already got for shortcut keys rather than adding even more shortcut keys.

[hyperbole]In fact, there are enough shortcut keys to last a century! [/hyperbole]

Sorry for off-topic, but why do people keep posting on topics that are, like, 7 years old or something?

what about command?

define Tick
change x by (Speed X)
if <touching (Wall)> then
set (Speed X) to ((0) - (Speed X))
change x by (Speed X)
end
change y by (Speed Y)
if <touching (Wall)> then
set (Speed Y) to ((0) - (Speed Y))
change y by (Speed Y)
end

maybe number keybinds?
1-cursor
2-brush
3-fill
4-line tool
5-square tool
6-reshape
7-eraser tool
8-text
9-circle tool

My suggestions:
Alt-1: code
Alt-2: costumes
Alt-3: sounds

F5 / enter when not typing text: run
Ctrl-M: stop

In sound/costume editor when not entering text:
[: previous costume/sound
]: next costume/sound

In code tab, when not entering text:
1: motion
2: looks
3: sounds
…
0: my blocks
`: add extension

When not entering text or moving things in the paint editor:
right arrow: next sprite
left arrow: previous sprite
up arrow: stage

In paint editor when not entering text:
Esc: cursor
R: reshape
B: brush
E: eraser
F: fill
T: text
L: line
C: ellipse
S: rectangle

Only apple has command.

We should use Alt with alphanumeric keys as they aren't used by the system.

support, ctrl+s to save would be nice

NickScraOSC

Yeah, Ctrl + S would be great for auto-saving, and also Ctrl+D to duplicate, Ctrl+E or Ctrl+I for Exporting/Importing, and Ctrl+Alt+D to download

copy+paste works normally as dupe

ctrl-p open paint editor

Would it override print?

F1: Help Section
F2: Wiki

Uh… I got nothing else…

Yes, though how many people are printing the Scratch editor?

Although cmd-r should be changed - that already reloads the page, and cmd-s already has a function in Scratch: it saves the project.
