Hi Lene,

I think(!) these are hardcoded:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/gui/qgsmapcanvas.cpp#L1723-L1745

so you cannot change them using 'Settings / Keyboard Shortcuts' (?).

Most actions using keyboard shortcuts are rea 'QActions' so attached to the real activating of an QAction. Your key-clicks are more 'helper' keys, calling mapCanvas.setCenter ...?

Maybe a dev can answer the question: IS it possible to put these kind of PressEvents in the list of Keyboard Shortcuts?

Else maybe something is possible on Operating System level, but that is probably too much...
