How about a context-menu for menu-items? Right-clicking a menu-item would s=
how=20
an option to change the hotkey. Clicking on that option would then show a=20
dialog that allows entering the key-combination to activate the selected me=
nu=20
item, complete with warnings if an existing shortcut gets replaced. Maybe=20
this could be implemented in a class that GUI items can inherit from, so we=
=20
can use the same system for everything we want to assign a hotkey to.
