Try to ask @ideasman42
Re UI/UX multiple keypresses, (until a better solution is found/implemented) there’s the hopefully helpful workaround of using Quick Favourites, if only a few options are added, just two keypresses can be used, Q→1, Q→2… and so forth?
Apologies, reply should be to @LinoThomas and others. Thank you.

Looks like the way to go for me.
Thank you for your suggestion!
The quick favourites is for me for usually hard to reach operators which do not have shortcut assigned (or the shortcut is finger breaking 
).
It is super valuable space for such operators, more than 5 and the key press jamming gets bad (as q - 6 is not done blindly with one hand any more).
Therefore losing two of these slots just for unwrap is sadly a no no for me.
The unwrap was previously easy to reach with short cuts and should not warrant a quick menu entry.

Tagging @ideasman42 here again. Sorry.
What do i need to do to get the attention of the module owner to review that UI change he implemented?
You’re in the right spot already, @ideasman42 is one of the module owners and also commited the Slim UV patch. He is on vacation though and therefore you’d have to wait until January.

Hello again
Its the second week of the year and i have been continuously using the 4.3 version over the holidays and I did not manage to get used to the new key mappings. It is a regression which annoys me every time i have to unwrap, which is quite often 
@ideasman42 Could you please, please have a look at the UI submenu issue and see if the given suggestions here are valid or if the UI change should be reverted completely.

Hi @LinoThomas, based on your feedback I’ve submitted a PR to restore the 4.2x menu, I’ll raise this topic in the up-coming modeling meeting.
For some context: UI changes to frequently accessed tools are difficult to judge and almost always bother some users, while I reviewed this PR, I wasn’t involved with some of the UI changes that had already been discussed, so I assumed the tradeoff was considered acceptable.

Thank you for your reply ideasman.
I fully understand the UI/UX struggles, as i am involved in that topic at my work.
I can now just hope, that the change to the context menu can be reverted, at least in the one which opens with “u”.
I have no preference for the menu, which opens from the menu tab, as this is not accessed via a shortcut. But i can just assume, that there is a need to keep both of them in an identical layout for UX/code reasons.

Done, if we do another 4.3 bugfix release it will include the change, otherwise it will be in 4.4+.

Thank you, much appreciated!
This is saving my fingers from hitting quite a lot more keystrokes

SLIM UV unwrapping has been a huge time saver recently but I noticed it doesn’t seem to work with pinning or Live UV Unwrapping at all. It often just distorts the UVs completely or collapses in on itself when Pinning is present which is a shame when wanting to do manual adjustments.
Am I doing something wrong or is this an unresolved issue?

Not only SLIM has this kind of error, but also Minimize Stretch.
