I had the same thought - I think we could do something to make it much easier for people to define new key -> action mappings. But one would need to have a good sense of the usual way(s) users / distros / customizers prefer to do this type of customization, which I don't have but plan to muck around with some thoughts and submit a future patch. This also led me to consider the idea of making it easier to define the actions themselves, so that we're not just allowing re-assignment, but new assignment. The implementation and considerations thereof are even more beyond the scope of what I had intended to achieve, though. > My only other comment applies to the comment itself, which I feel is > slightly presumptuous.
