I would like to suggest an enhancement to the current way of maping
keystrokes to ant targets.

Currently:
For each projects build file you need to assign a keymapping.
If you like to use the same keymapping for each project's build file,
you need to add each one and remember not to replace previous projects
mappings.

Proposal:
Most of my build files have common target names such as init, build,
jar, test, etc...
I would like the ability to mark one of my build files as the default
(The one that will receive common keymappings) and then keymappings by
target name.

This means that if you have more than one build file, one is usually a
master or more common file and that can be marked as the default which
is searched for the mapped target name.

You then map say Ctrl+b to the "build" target and IDEA will search
through the "default" build file for a target named build and execute
it.

This means you can totally use ant for building and distributing and if
you have a standard naming convension you can always use the same key
strokes to build or jar your project.

I hope this all makes sense.

TIA
