Comment 10 for bug 1289713

I was kindof short in my opening post but I want to clarify that I'm in favor of context sensitive shortcuts.I don't mind double shortcuts for different but similar(or even dissimilar) if it makes sense and is clearly divided. A good example of this is Blender that has plenty of tools with same shortcuts ,but that only appear when using those shortcuts...

But when you configure a shortcut you should perhaps be notified that a shortcut is being used. I would even argue now that you perhaps SHOULD NOT ban duplication of shorcuts. Merely notify them and offer the option to remove them but also the option to leave them alone.

In TVPaint you can add 2 functions to the same shorcut to get a compound effect. As an example you can combine a 'layer select' function to a 'shake layer' function. the result is that when you select a layer,the layer shakes to alert you which layer. SO that could also be an interesting route.

So I don't really know what needs to happen. At the very least there should be alerts. Besides that there are a few option like I described,which are open to implement however the dev feels like.
