Hi, I have a few questions about hotkeys in GAL tools:
1) Is there are reason so many GAL tools don't get hotkeys? Very many TOOL_ACTIONS have a hotkey set to '0'. Most others that do have a hotkey have a LegacyHotkey definition. Only a very few have the GAL-style keys (e.g. rotate CW). I think nearly all GAL tools should have a hotkey assignable, even if they default to unassigned. It's quite limiting to not be able to access some tools except by the menu. (This may mean some tools need defences against being called even when the menu item is disabled.) 2) Is it/will it be supported to have the same hotkey for multiple contexts? For example, say there's an AS_GLOBAL action using "G". However, when you're in a tool mode, that could be overridden by a AS_CONTEXT action that only makes sense in that tool. This already sort of works, *but* the hotkey dialog does not like duplicate keys, even when one is global and one is contextual. Can this be changed, or is it pending removal of the legacy canvas and hotkey system first?
