As per http://www.tpersistent.com/?p=1003 every time you install Delphi/GExperts you need to remove any keyboard conflicts. This can be laborious. It would be nice if the Installer would detect shortcut conflicts and allow you to resolve them (pick the default GExperts Key and remove the shortcut mapping present in the IDE or the opposite or log it and continue).

Since every "upgrade" of Delphi requires a re-install, this is more desirable than ever.

    There is the Keyboard Shortcuts expert, which gives a list of actions in the IDE and their assigned shortcuts. It also detects and highlights conflicts, but does not provide any options to resolve them.
    It cannot detect shortcuts registered via any other means, e.g. IOTAKeyboardServices.AddKeyboardBinding since the OTA does not provide any functions for this.

    I am aware of the ShortCuts expert and it is very helpful. Just thought perhaps something could be done upon installation. If it's not viable, I'm fine with closing the ticket.
