I agree, but not only because of large screens. Often you want
to keep your cursor on an specific site on the map, it's inconvenient
having to move it to the menus to select a tool or an operation.
Sometimes I use
coordinate capture to leave a temporary mark, something
like new layer/edit points, but avoiding all the intermediate steps. Having
independent pointing devices for the display and the menu or
just being able to move through the menus with the keyboard might be better

So this is possible in a plugin? Kewl!
Slightly off-topic, would it be nice to create a plugin for
customizing key-bindings of QGIS functions? Some functions have
shorcut keys while others don't. One of the toolset that can greatly
benefit are the navigation (zoom and pan) and digitizing tools (toggle
to edit, add vertex, move vertex, etc.).
With the ever increasing monitor screen size, I find it cumbersome to
move and click the mouse just to call a certain function.
Just thinking out loud here :)

Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Assigning a keyboard shortcut to a plugin
Hi Luca,
You can probably do this via the keyPressEvent() of your plugin dialog:
def keyPressEvent( self, e ):
if ( e.modifiers() == Qt.ControlModifier or e.modifiers() ==
Qt.MetaModifier ) and e.key() == Qt.Key_Some_Key:
# run the tool
else:
QDialog.keyPressEvent( self, e )
Hope that helps,
Carson
