Comment 16 for bug 1649958

> We have 19 functions to administer and map to keys, so 8 would not suffice.

Seems my suggestion was not as clear as i meant it was. From my point of view we have three different groups:

1. Shortcuts that open windows -> e.g. t for toggling Tools menu
2. Shortcuts that toggle things directly on the map (overlays) -> e.g. space for toggling buildhelp
3. Shortcuts that have influence on the main view -> e.g. f for Fullscreen

So i was just thinking to have one of this group on the F-keys, e.g. the overlays.

> function keys should be reserved for META kind of stuff

From my experience the developers of a particular program defines what 'meta stuff' is. Once i used a 3-d drawing program which used the f-keys to get different views of an object.

Anyway, trying to find such groups would help to find good shortcuts, imho. Using the function-keys for one of the groups would mean to have more possibilities for other shortcuts.

Just an opinion :-)
