Dear List,
I distribute a LaTeX typesetting and project manager app and one of the main feature requests is the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts (or rather modify the ones I ship). So I started researching a little how to do this and came across solutions involving PTHotKey (or DDHotKey) and ShortcutRecorder (which I haven't looked at in detail yet).
But during my reading I also started to wonder if offering such a feature is frowned upon. I'm finding it hard to find an example desktop app which offers changing the keyboard shortcut bindings. Also, with these solutions, it's not clear to me if the actual keyboard shortcut associated with a menu item can be changed, and whether that will be reflected in the UI. That's really what the users want to do.
Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions as to how to implement the ability of the user to modify menu item keyboard shortcuts, and whether this is a good idea or not?
Best wishes,
Martin
