Bug Description
This is just a nitpick but something I noticed right away: your menus, dialogs, and whatnot show shortcuts of the form Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S instead of the more conventional Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D. That is, you put the Shift modifier before both the Ctrl and Alt modifiers. "Every" other application (on Windows, at least) prefers the order Ctrl, then Alt, then Shift.
Apologies if this is a duplicate; I searched before posting.

GTK based applications -such as Inkscape, Gimp, Geany and probably others- conform to the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines (https:/
Changing the order would generate inconsistencies on GNU/Linux systems (I don't know what's the preferred order on OS-X).
We could also detect the operating system and change the order for Windows only, but it wouldn't be nice for people working on documentation...
