OmniGraffle UI Gripes
Having used omnigraffle for a while now, I have a few UI Gripes that I wish to share:
1. When copying / pasting across multiple pages, OG doesn't always paste the item(s) in the same place on each Canvas. For example, I want to copy a shape to the same place on 5 canvases - OG will do this fine for 3, but then on the fourth paste into a random position. Why is this?
2. Using the help context menu to search for "Bring Forward" reveals this option in the "Arrange" menu. However, clicking on the menu only gives me a "Bring to Front" option. Where is the "Bring Forward" Option!?! Arrggh!
3. Why doesn't OG stick the the usual thing of APPLE + letter does something, where as APPLE + SHIFT+ letter does the opposite? Shouldn't APPLE + G be group and APPLE + SHIFT + G be un-group?
For that matter why can't I move object depths using APPLE + the arrow keys?
A great product, just some little niggles. It may be that I'm using it wrong - feel free to shoot me down!

Inappropriate?1. Sorry about that; we've got an open bug on this in our tracker.
2. You'll need to hold the Option key down as a modifier to reveal the "Bring Forward"/"Send Backward" commands.
3. Actually, Command-G is OS X’s standard Find Next command, we don’t want to step on that. We’ve had some discussions on how to best handle these, and I’ve added your feedback to our tracker. Apple’s and Adobe’s choices tend to clash a fair amount nowadays. Keynote uses Option-Command-G for Group, and Shift-Command-G is the convention for Find Previous in many of Apple’s apps.
4. Right now, Command-arrow is assigned to selection of adjacent shapes. If you like, these keyboard shortcuts can be reassigned in the the Keyboard Shortcuts pane of OS X's Keyboard & Mouse Preference Pane.
