Description Jesús Jiménez 2006-04-27 17:32:06 UTC 
Version:           0.4.3 (using KDE 3.4.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu2 )
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-10-k7

Just a little usability improvement: when the zoom tool is selected, and the user starts to drag, it should be possible to cancel the zoom by hitting the esc key (like most programs allow in drag operations). 

Right now, it's impossible to stop the action once the drag has started, and I often find myself unconsciously zooming in when I really wanted to pan. If I could hit ESC to cancel the action, I could realize that the wrong tool is selected, and cancel it before releasing the mouse button.

Thanks for your attention and congratulations for such a nice piece of software, it kicks major ass!
