So I'll take that as a vote for Thorsten's initial model that has an
Edit->Shortcuts on each Window that has shortcuts to modify.
It is probably a simpler design that I had in mind, but very workable.
I'll vote that way as well.

My thought was being able to pull custom shortcuts across several installs or
for those who reinstall or upgrade to a newer release.
But managing changes across releases could become a maintenance nightmare.
So the more I think about it, the less appealing it looks.

Maybe as simple as possible is best. I was modeling from several Applications
that had very sophisticated shortcut editors. We could get away with less and
still deliver the core functionality.

I second that.
