My post wasn't ment as a feature request, but as a basis to discuss a
possible shift in paradigm towards a popup menu controlled (with
short-cuts) rather than a key controlled myth. However, I must admit
that my knowledge of Qt is not yet good enough to estimate the
implementation impact such a paradigm change would imply. But I'll
definitely give it some thought (and possible try it on a small scale
example).
If this approach is feasible then it should be used wherever keyboard
input is required (after all it is configurable and of course a standard
short-cut config file should be provided to mimic the setup currently
described in keys.txt).
