[Fwd: Re: [Qgis-user] Assigning a keyboard shortcut to a plugin]

[maning sambale]

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 :)
