Hi Morten,

Adding additional shortcut / keyboard-combinations is a bit tricky.

Some shortcuts are so common that it is clear, such as CTRL+C, CTRL+V.
Some shortcuts are less used, such as CTRL+ALT+O.

CTRL+S in my experience, refers to Save.
Of course that doesn't make any sense for Xpad, which auto saves every couple of 5 seconds or so.

Nevertheless, I have an unusual motoric problem, with the CTRL+S pressing it everywhere in every application, which I taught myself as a reflex when programming.

In this case It might add strike through at places everywhere.
For everybody this is different.

I think for this reason, it would be better to have configurable shortcuts.
So that everybody can have the key combinations he/she likes.
This has been discussed/proposed several times.

Do you have an interest to implement this generic functionality?

Meaning, a new configuration page of key combinations for several actions and of course the actual workings of it.
