You know, some window managers out there actually do a pretty good job with hotkeys. Wouldn't it be great if all of the Gnome/Ximian apps stored all of their hot key assignments in a single file, say ~/.keybindings? It should be smart enough to allow dynamic changing of the menus' display of the accelerator keys as well. That is, if you make a hotkey change, the underlined letter in the menu is also changed (or if the key combination is displayed in the menu, it shows the correct <i>updated</i> shortcut). It should also allow for certain global key assignments (cut, copy, paste), but also allow for override in specific applications, if desired. *sigh*
For hotkey launching of applications, take a look at xbindkeys on freshmeat http://www.osdn.com/osdnsearch.pl?site=all&query=xbindkeys&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0&Submit=Go it even works with my micro$oft keyboard and the special hotkey buttons on the top.
