[Denemo-devel] Input Profiles

[Nils Gey]

Hello list,

While I still think the ultimate goal should be one keyboard profile for all 
users (and developers) we can improve the situation until then.

I think the current profile names are getting in our way. They are named after 
a rolemodel but this is misleading.
You can composer, arrange or do whatever in any profile. One user even mistook 
them as hirachical profiles. "Once you are good enough you go one further".

We should either name them after what they do (but I can't think of such a 
word) or give them abstract names. 
"Simple" "Alpha" and "Beta" would be better names. At least the user gets the 
correct impression here that "Alpha" and "Beta" are meaningless themselves and 
there is more in that. Well, maybe not Alpha and Beta since these are release 
releated words. But I think you get what I mean.

PS 1) I want to repeat myself again: I think the Classic and Lilypond profile 
should be deleted. I checked them completely and they are 100% redundant. 
Anything that can be done with them can be done with either Arranger or 
Composer, but better. Even the current simple profile is far better than 
Classic. These two are the ones that we don't even actively maintain. Anacrusis 
is still in there, some keybindings are just mad (Shift+Left/Right to change 
movement) and come from a time where there was no serious selection work 
possible.
After reviewing those two profiles I can say with a clear conscience we do 
everyone a favour by deleting them.

PS 2) As soon as possible we should give the user the possibility to change the 
current commandset in Denemos preferences or in the keybindings dialog, 
especially after choosing one.
