Hi Peppe,

You probably already know this, but the Alt, Control, and Shift key
combinations are already defined for most cursor tools.  They are used
for what is referred to as the "quasimodes", which are shortcuts for
the Zoom (Alt), Pan (Alt-shift), and Feature Info (Alt-Ctrl).  It is
possible to create modes for Shift and Control without the Alt as is
done by the Draw Constrained Polygon tool. However, since many users
seem to be unaware of the "hidden" capability of drawing holes in
selected polygons, I would be more in favor of making separate tools
that are more "discoverable" to perform these functions.

just my two cents,
Larry
