I really don't like adding customizable hot keys. Apart from the fact that it requires extra preferences it is really of limited use for Skim. Most events already have shortcuts. And menu events that don't have them can be given shortcuts in the system preferences. Moreover as there are already many events customization can easily lead to conflicts.
