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).
