Description:
There are a bunch of shortcuts that could/should be made to make it easier for someone to model the diagram.  If also probable it would be ideal to make shortcuts editable by workbench "actions/commands".

Here are the items that should or could use shortcut keys:

Docked Windows:
(Not sure what keys..) Schema to Datatypes window
(Not sure what keys..) Layers to Properties window

Model Views:
Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab between Model Views
Ctrl+F4 or Ctrl+W to close Model Views

Operations:
Ctrl+Shift+S Save As

Alignment: (All go from left to right on the menu bar)
 - Vertical Alignment
Ctrl+A+1 Align Top Edges
Ctrl+A+2 Align Vertical Centers
Ctrl+A+3 Align Bottom Edges
 - Horizontal Alignment
Ctrl+A+4 Align Top Edges
Ctrl+A+5 Align Vertical Centers
Ctrl+A+6 Align Bottom Edges
 - Spaced Alignment
Ctrl+A+7 Align Vertical Centers
Ctrl+A+8 Align Vertical Centers

How to repeat:
Not Available.

Suggested fix:
Implement shortcuts.

I figured that you guys don't really look at S4.  This one is shortcuts and is primarily usability based.

your alignment tools:
could you consider other aligment tools, such as align left.
reason: our dba / qa function are anal retentives and "demand" to see a data model in neat ordered columns & rows. I have already informed them that the chances of laying out links which do not overlap or dissappear behid tables is non existent.
