That's the macro I was referring to.  It's nice, especially if you know the=
=20
name of an action and have forgotten the key assignment -- but not the othe=
r=20
way around. =20

Use case:  I have a set of related actions and want to assign them to a gro=
up=20
of keys in a "natural" way.  I just did this for a plugin that had eight=20
actions.  I wanted four contiguous function keys which I could use with and=
=20
without the shift key.  Ideally I could look at a list sorted:

=461 -> action 1
S-F1 -> action 2
C-F1 -> action 3
A-F1 -> action 4
=462 -> action 5
=2E..

Then pick the best candidate keys.  And each user of the plugin is faced wi=
th=20
the same task.

When this bothers me too much I'll add an option to the macro to sort this =
way=20
=2D- unless someone beats me to it.  :-)
