Actually, you could just add a button to the plugin preferences that points directly to the Edit -> Prefernces -> Keybindings by calling:

keybindings_dialog_show_prefs_scroll("Plugin Section");


I do so here:

I hope this helps,

Thanks Lex.

    It is actually preferable that plugins do not have default
    keybindings.

    It is not known what combination plugins will be loaded and so it is
    not known what combination of keybindings might clash, and it is not
    known what keybindings a user might define themselves that can clash.

    So I would recommend that default keybindings be removed from plugins.


I understand, I would remove the default keybindings. The problem is this plugin doesnt have its own preference page in the Plugin Manager window. Activating this plugin will mean the user has to go to Edit->Preference (not the Plugin preferences)->Keybindings to set the keybindings for this plugin which is a lot of clicks. What I would suggest is that plugin should have its own preference page and a way to tell the user how to set the keybindings and the recommended keys. One of the ways could be putting all those things in plugin description. What do you think?

Thanks,
