I strongly agree with the feature request.  I am an avid user of macros in
Microsoft Word and Emacs.  I just attempted my first assignment of a keyboard
shortcut to a macro.  It was painful.  I first tried to just use the menus to
assign the shortcut.  Gave up.  Then switched to the help files.  Gave up again.
 Googled for a web page and finally found one that explains how to do it.  The
interface is quite confusing.

For example in OO.o 2.0.4, there are menus:
Tools > Macros > Organize Macros
Tools > Macros > Organize Dialogs
For a new user, this is confusing.

Then I learn that I need to use 
Tools > Customize > Keyboard

But where are the macros?  Oh, sure easy to find.  NOT.  They are in the
Category box, under 
OpenOffice.org Macros > user > Standard > Module1.

(Further nit-pick.  On MS Windows, these dialogs are not re-sizeable and show
only a tiny amount of text in the "Category" window that is hard to read.)

Then I try to click on my named macro and look for a button "assign key".  No
luck.  Oh, you first have to click on the key in the Shortcut key box, then
click on macro name.

Wow.  This entire process is incredibly difficult for me to remember.

It would be much more preferable to simply assign a key at the same time as
assigning the name.
