Just a comment from my side about how I see the platform problem.

VCL defines several keyboard modifiers. Since I can remember we always had MOD1
and MOD2 that e.g. on Windows map to CTRL and ALT. I don't know how many
modifiers we support nowadays on the different platforms, but I will find out.
In general we can offer access to all keys and modifiers that VCL shows us. To
my current knowledge this does not allow us to differentiate between the numeric
and the normal keyboard. And I also doubt that the configuration format can do
that. I have to find that out.

The different platforms will create the following problems:

- Some keys are "reserved" on platform X, but not on platform Y. That means that
we must not use them for predefined shortcuts (that's true already now!) and we
either leave it up to the user to find out if his desired personal shortcut in
OOo works on his platform or we can try to assist him. As the latter will be
quite some effort, I opt for not doing this, at least now.

- a user keyboard shortcut might work on one platform but not on another. This
can create a problem in a user profile shared between several platforms. I
consider this a very rare case and again would like to leave it up to the user
to define shortcuts in a way that they work on all used platforms.
