I can understand that this requires quite some changes and that it might be a lot of work. However, I don’t think it would be counter-intuitive, unless there are many conflicting commands (i.e., a same keystroke that has a different effect depending on the block type). Are there that many? E.g., take the ‘w’ or ‘d’ keys in the agenda view. Suppose I’m on the TODO block and type a ‘w’. Would it be that much surprising if the agenda block switches to a week view? Probably not. 

Of course, there might be sufficient cases that prove me wrong; after all I’m not really familiar with the different blocks. So I’ll stop nagging :-)

I’ll swap the order as you suggested and give it a try!

Thanks!
Peter.
