That is what I was thinking too - have the more esoteric ones unassigned by default. > It might be somewhat tricky to implement with legacy canvas > still in place, so perhaps the right moment will come when legacy canvas > is out.

That sounds sensible. If the hotkey dialog knew which TOOL_ACTIONs were AS_GLOBAL and AS_CONTEXT, it could then only disallow multiple AS_GLOBAL bindings of the same key, or multiple AS_CONTEXTs actions within the same tool group (eg. pcbnew.InteractiveRouter). This probably can't be easily done while the legacy code also uses the dialog, as it requires each hotkey binding to know the global/context aspect and the tool group. I'll hold off doing much more until the legacy canvas is on the way out.
